BBC: Baggage advice for UK passengers
… No liquids of any type are permitted through the airport security search point, other than the following items:
- Prescription medicines in liquid form sufficient and essential for the flight (eg diabetic kit), as long as verified as authentic.
- Baby milk and liquid baby food (the contents of each bottle or jar must be tasted by the accompanying passenger).
The definition of liquids includes:
- Gels, pastes, lotions, liquid/solid mixtures.
- The contents of pressurised containers, eg toothpaste, hair gel, drinks, soups, syrups, perfume, deodorant, shaving foam, aerosols etc.
I wonder if the authorities have started frisking for silicone implants yet.
Nice work if you can get it.
All we need now is an ex-school teacher at every check-in barking at passengers to 'have a good wee' and doctors on hand to drain our vitreous humour (vitreos humor to your US readers) and we'll be really safe from liquids. Egregious of the government to ban a whole state of matter.
