After the US and UK authorities foiled an alleged terrorist plot to blow up planes, the British Aviation Authority’s website has the following warning:

Hand baggage restrictions are in place; Passengers will be handsearched; Footwear and all items (including pushchairs and walking aids) must be x-ray screened; Liquids will be removed from the passenger.

Liquids will be removed from the passenger?

I, for one, am happy not to be in the duty-free alcohol sales business right about now!
