Flew through BHX the other evening.....Mrs EW was told to put her handbag inside a plastic bag she was carrying as one item only was allowed ....guess how long she adhered to that rule?.
On a similar point Mrs EW has become totally hacked off at wandering around in her bare/stocking feet across heaven knows what crap in order that her shoes may be x rayed. She asked at BFS for a pair of covers (a la shower cap ) for her feet...and was lectured about rules ...and how they were only enforcing them.The security bod totally missed the point.
