The UK. Where, after the liquid bombing thing, they not only brought in the 3 x 100ml of liquid rule, they insisted that passengers only carry ONE bag through security (because ramping up to actually check each bag properly was taking too long).
This isn't the airlines, it's the government. There is no work-around and it's a rule they've relaxed only at a handful of airports with additional screening equipment. Beware -- if you visit the UK, you may well only be allowed to take a single carry-on item when you fly out again!
- gaius 17y ago1 carry-on + 1 camera bag was OK at LHR, last month at least.
- cstross 17y agoLHR is one of the few hubs where they installed extra securiy screening. I live in Edinburgh; EDI is still enforcing the one-bag-only rule, as are the other airports I've flown through in the past year (I avoid the British hubs wherever possible).
- impeachgod 17y agoI do not go to the UK; as a Vietnamese citizen, I need to have a "transit visa" even if I have a two-hour layover. The laws in the UK are especially ridiculous.
