Good to see you at wiki wednesday Dennis. I had a similar experience at Heathrow when flying to Dubai. Time to return to a poachers coat with capacious inside pockets. they don't seem to care what you are wearing. Once through the security you can whip out your nylon bag and dress normally again.

Dennis,
what is the situation with women's handbags? Are they treated as handbaggage? Or can women carry a handbag and one piece of hand baggage?
Airline security has become an absolute joke. It is completely reactive - reacting to the terrorists mode of attack.
First it was guns, then scissors/box cutters, then shoes, now liquids. I can't wait until terrorists decide to use oxygen (or boarding cards) to try to blow up a plane!

Yes - ladies handbag = 1 piece of luggage as per the Dutch journalist who was next in line to cough up for 'excess' baggage.'
