... Are there other shops selling "unsuitable" items? Can't be the Duty Free's, or can it? These semm to be selling a range of products identical to what you would find in a UK Duty Free shop, after all?
BTW this does not apply to BA only, but also to LH flights to LHR. As SNS said, whether there is a second check seems to depend on the airport, not the airline - there is none at HHN for FR, and neither is there at LUX for LG, VG or BA. Can't remember what's it like at CGN.
