You'll want to read this one...I only had one bag with me and they took it off me, I was left with just my Passport and my Boarding Card.
From you message, had I been carrying my Notebook PC in a "Tesco's Bag", I would have had no problem, but it really defeats the whole purpose of trying to protect ones valuable from damage during flight.
Inconsistancy causes total frustration.
Whooaahh!!!
