yes definitely found that at Edinburgh Airport on the way out it was really strict, no liquids, shoes through the security scanner etc but on the way back, I had water in my hand luggage, but the security staff were more keen on getting everyone through security at top speed.
Must admit did miss having lip balm/lipstick/hand cream/moisturiser in hand luggage.
Read this week that they are looking at no alcohol being allowed in the cabin and only 100ml of perfume being allowed. In Metro was an idea of tagging everyone flying
As a semi-nervous flyer this goes down well, not.
