Baby Wipes? What's the problem with those?

Hi All,

I was SLF through Edinburgh last week, and during security screening the (rather grumpy, although I probably would be too) security lassie would only let us take on one pack of baby wipes. She was insistent that we couldn't take two, mentioning something about rules in a mumbled tone. Anyway we went for the bigger pack as she gave us the choice.

She then discovered a tub of Sudocrem (a baby nappy rash cream - inert) and (uh-oh) a jar of vaseline .

I thought that was it for the vaseline, but then she said "you can only have one - which one do you want?". It was all I could do to not say "I'll have the highly flammable petroleum jelly please", and opted for the sudocrem.

She then dilligently confiscated the lip balm my wife had forgotten to take out of the bottom of the rucksack.

Needless to say, coming back from Mahon to Edinburgh, they didn't even bother checking the bags - too busy cooing over the baby!
