Not that I have a whole lot to add (other than we're spending lots of time talking about something only affecting UK --:> US flights at this moment)...
Actually, it was affecting UK-anywhere flights (including anywhere-US that transits UK). And a subset was affecting US-UK (including US-anywhere transiting UK). The rules have been changed now, still no liquids/creams, but you can have a *single* carry-on that includes any manner of electrical items and is no bigger than 17.7"x13.7"x6.2" (it's round numbers in cm). The rationing is to limit the number of things they have to examine, rather than because the airplane bins are too small. Handbags, laptops etc have to go *inside* the one bag mentioned above; what they haven't explained is whether pocket contents have to as well. -- Roland Perry
