And right now, the only way to smuggle booze on board is to buy chocolate with cognac or other booze inside :-) Why you need to smuggle booze on board? You travel with Saudian Airways or something like this? If I want a drink on board I order it ;-) SCNR, Frank |

It makes much more sense anyway, compared to carrying bottles of heavy and inflammable booze long distances in the cabin. It will of course take a while to rework the airport layout, but I would feel a bit safer flying in a plane without hundreds of liters of alcohol in breakable bottles in the luggage racks. Most airports are slow enough at delivering checked bags to the carousel, giving anough time to buy on arrival. The bad news for me is that I usually buy at low prices on departure in Jakarta and Singapore, then I arrive in London which has far higher prices. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Not really - the airports will have to make up for the loss of revenue from the duty free shops by putting up their charges to airlines - who'll pass it on to passengers. Forget about bringing any liquid or semi-liquid substance onboard a plane again, including toothpaste. I wonder if the airlines are smart enough to stock more water and food to make up for passengers not being able to bring their own. Not to mention that fact that it must be free, because passengers no longer have an option to bring their own. I can't say I follow the "must be free" argument - it's a better opportunity for them to sell it! The authorities have overreacted by banning reading material. It is not possible to store liquids in a magazine and books can easily be checked by fanning through the pages. You could check through a book, but it would delay things even more. My concern is that there's nothing to occupy the time flying, except tedious films, in-flight magazines (yawn) and eating and drinking. So up fo the incidents of drunkennes on flights! If I can't even take a book or nagazine on board, the departure lounges of UK airports will be as bare of anything but food outlets and bars as some abroad. More loss of rent to the airports! Even more so than usual, I'd hate to be someone who has to wear a colostomy bag. Pete Somehow, I can't see it lasting. Just how long, I don't know. And .. can I take my watch? It's got a bettery in it (at least, it doesn't need winding). If not, how do I know what time it is and how long until we land? .... Greymoon |

Just like the ban on knives must end soon, right? Just because you want it to end, does not mean it will end. Better hope that the UK starts allowing carry-on bags again soon. Pete |

all the shops at the airport will go bust with no airport sales they must be suffering massive losses of sales. airports rely on these sales ..if you cant take anything on board they will all have to shut down . except what you take in your belly . |
