This looks like the size of the suspiciously small BAA provided luggage guages which I saw positioned at the head of the security queues at Gatwick last week (before Thursday, thank goodness).
IIRC there was a thread running on the horrendous queues for T4 security a while back, which BAA tried to blame on the volume of cabin baggage, attempted to restrict pax to one bag totally ignored the individual airline allowances, and had to back down.
Then BA raised the stakes by raising the cabin baggage allowance for all. Perhaps we are seeing BAA try to get its original plan in by the back door?
