It is a sad day that speaks volumes about the world we live in now, that we encounter an article on such an important, ground-breaking topic, and it's titled 'Airport security refuses transport'.
It's possible to have multiple news articles concentrating on different aspects of the same event. I bet there are other articles out there that concentrate on the medical research. Not everything out there has to cover only the most important stuff.
Actually, they would have been fine six years ago - the liquid ban only came into force in 2006.
And the EU would very much like to lift the ban, because it's completely pointless - it's meant to be lifted on EU flights in April 2013. Except both the US and the aviation industry is heavily lobbying for the EU to scrap their plans, for 'security' reasons (if you were cynical you might suggest budget airlines and airports benefitted from a liquids ban, as people had to spend money in airports/on planes rather than bringing their own refreshments etc).
