You couldn't/can't actually take your own book on the plane as hand luggage, if you take a book you have to buy it in one of the shops past check in because its been security cleared apparently. Same goes for drinks once you're past check in you can buy anything and take it on board as its cleared by security before hand. You are also allowed to take babys milk on but it has to be tested by the mother by drinking some of it in front of the security.
Security: Yes sir, copy of the Tales of Narnia you got there sir eh? Blimey that bookmark looks mighty suspect there sir fancy if I have a gander sir? No sir? righty then.
*Takes book*
Security: Sorry sir, gonna have to confiscate this sir could be a weapon of mass terror and such.
But you are right I'd better them be safe, I can understand the liquid thing especially.
yeah....did you hear about what the actual bombs were gona be made off aparently?
it's a special bottle with some weird explosive liquid in the bottom with colouring in it to make it red and then the rest of the bottle filled with something else...and then have a disposable camera thats been tinkered with and when you press the button to take a picture...BOOM...bye bye plane...
apparently anyway 😛
