Just got back from a few days away.
If I go through the crew gate of an airport in NI, I have to be escorted, but if at the same airport I go through the pax security point, I can walk anywhere I choose. How does this work?
In France, I can go into the terminal (landside) and purchase a nice cup of coffee, bring it through security, and enjoy it on the aircraft while setting up the flight deck. It seems only to be in the UK that this rule of 100ml applies. I have heard that towards the end of the year it will relax though.
But who wants to check a bag in just because a shaving gel is a normal size. What is the difference between that and going through the 'pain in the arse' routing of transfering it into smaller bottles, and still having the same amount of fluid in your bag.
If it made sence, I would happily comply, but Christ! give us a break.......
