What about bringing a frozen meal then? Don't be so silly, all frozen foods apparently now banned as from today as the security don't have time to asses whether they will be mostly solid or mostly liquid when thawed.
Not true.
I take frozen food through regularly. (i'm not flt crew by the way).
For a bit of balance. The security staff at MAN seem to be run through a culture of fear. Several staff have recently been sacked for missing items or letting them through. I know who they are and they were the most pleasant of the lot who used a touch of common sense and good humour. What is now left are a security staff frightened to miss a tiny sachet of mayo.
The management really need to sort themselves out as this is not working.
