A lot of details will be sketchy right now, but essentially it appears the plot was to detonate liquid explosives carried on in hand baggage. Therefore, nothing in liquid or gel form is being allowed in a carryon bag; the only exception is baby bottles, and apparently they are making the passenger taste the liquid before boarding.
If you're flying today, be prepared for a huge PITA at security. Basically, plan to check all toiletry items. Just seal them up in Ziploc and pack them in your bag. Electronics will also get extra scrutiny, so be prepared to be asked to turn on any device you might carry on with you.
