Is the UK still the only one that is nuts on the one tiny bag for carry-on
rule, or have some other European countries copied the silly rule?

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

I think the situation is quite well summed up on this (official!) page
http://www.dft.gov.uk/transportforyo.../returningtouk.
In other words, nobody really knows.

And, to make matters worse, the UK is about to change its' rules. As far
as I can make out the change will only apply if the airport has installed
"3D" scanners and then you'll be allowed 2 pieces - maybe. So you'll have
to know the rules for the specific airport (and even terminal?) you pass
through and then of the airline.

Oh and the liquid rule still applies as far as I can make out.

My best advice (and an official from Manchester airport made the same point
on a news report yesterday even though his airport should be one of the two
bag places) is stick to one bag and a liquid baggie - that way you won't be
caught out.
