Correct Info.


Okay sorry peeps, the previous information provided was WRONG. It seems like the police in London thwarted a mass murder by uncovering terrorist plots to blow up over 20 airplanes. Threat level is Red right now and they added a few new rules in their airports which I'm not very happy about.

1. Ban on carry-on luggage, including purses too big to fit in a passenger's pocket. (I can't bring my pouch into the plane)
2. Passengers are allowed to take personal items such as their passport, eyeglasses and cash - so long as they are in see-through plastic bags. (I need a translucent bag to substitute my black, opaque money pouch)
3. Electronic key chains are not allowed as carry-ons, and all electric or battery-powered items, including laptops, cellphones, ipods, must be in checked, not carry-on, baggage. (Few years ago I was only told to switch off handphone/camera when the plane is taking off plus plus, can't take pictures when we're in transit anymore)
4. Any liquids, including beverages, hair gels, and lotions are prohibited from being carried on the airplane. (No more water bottle & cooling mist for my face!)

Yes, I understand that all these new rules are implemented for a tighter security control and I shouldn't be bitching about it, but these rules still suck anyway cos' my bagpack now proves to be too small to contain these extra items. I must find a way to squeeze them all in.
