Not bloody well listening

Millions of travellers are still confused about what they are allowed to pack in their hand luggage, two years after restrictions on liquids at airports were first introduced.

A new survey by the website Expedia found that 80 per cent of Britons have had to hand over personal possessions to airport security staff in the past two years, and half of all travellers do not know what they can carry in hand luggage.

The study, of 1,000 Expedia customers in July, revealed that, in the past two years, about a third have had knives, scissors and aerosols taken from their hand luggage, and 10 per cent have had bottles of alcohol confiscated.- Telegraph.co.uk
