Definate lack of consistency, however, when some airports are letting through lipsticks and make up (manchester) and others are not (Gatwick etc), is it the airports that are imposing their own rules. Passengers who are regular travellers through a variety of airports are getting annoyed at security 'jobs worths' when the officers are only following their security managers instructions and their interpretation of the rules.
The Dft site says
'includes gels, pastes, lotions, liquid/solid mixtures and the contents of pressurised containers'.
So who is correct?

From reading the Dft site, seems to me that the security at Edinburgh was giving you the benefit of being a parent and allowing you some items to take as a courteousy. What I have to ask is, if you knew they would be taken off you, why put them in in the first place?
