Summary

White House Aligns

A White House task force is aligning transportation, aviation, and venue security for the 2026 World Cup.

Stadiums will ban outside food and most containers, directing fans to use on-site condiment vendors.

History

Historical Context

After the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot forced the TSA and FAA to adopt the 3-ounce (100 ml) liquid limit—known as the 3-1-1 rule—U.S. airports have standardized pre-event security. Building on that precedent, the White House task force, FAA and TSA now cap ranch dressing at 3.4 ounces and ban drones near 2026 World Cup stadiums to keep passenger flow smooth.
