I've just been reading through the talking point on the BBC website. Some of the comments there are just unreal. I think this takes 1st prize;
"So how am I supposed to take a 2 year old child on a 12 hour flight - with no activities and toys (not even a teddy bear because it isn't an essential medical requirement)?
Not being able to take passive items like coloring books is a total over-reaction.
BAA needs to make the investment in scanning technology that already exists. If they can scan checked baggage, they can scan hand luggage."
