Yesterday at EDI, I had to surrender my shampoo & shower gel to security. They were both in identical 80ml bottles inside my clear, resealable plastic bag. The reason for confiscation? The bottles were not marked with their capacity. These are the same bottles I've used since January when I started the MAN-EDI commute. EDI security have checked these bottles six times aready.
This leads me to one of two conclusions:
1. Security at EDI were over-zealous or in desparate need of a shower.
2. I have breached security 13 times over the last 7 weeks with these bottles, and it's a lucky thing that such dangerous items were finally confiscated.
I did ask how much sugar and weedkiller I could take on board. Apparently there's no restriction.
What a complete waste of time airport security is.
