Flew back to BRU out of BHX with my CEO (that’s the wife) yesterday. At security she was told that she couldn’t go through with her (small) handbag and her (medium) carry-on bag. She was however allowed to put one inside the other.
Surely a small lady’s handbag should be exempt from the 1 piece restriction. Needless to say, she doesn't have this hassle anywhere else in Europe. Whilst Europe may have come to some form of common agreement about liquids, the rest is still anyone’s guess depending on airport and/or country of departure. Very very frustrating for SLF.
