List Of New Hand Luggage Items To Be Banned On Flights From The UK

Items used on a daily basis like:

• make-up
• baby powder
• coffee 
• spices etc.

May be banned from hand luggage on flights from the UK, according to a new report. 

The government of England is making a list of new items that must be put on hold from leaving the UK. This follows similar bans introduced in the US, Australia and New Zealand last month. The new rule was adopted after Australian officials were rocked by a failed plan to blow up an Ethiad flight leaving Sydney for AbuDhabi last year. There could have been a major terror attack if only the suitcase was not abandoned at the check-in may be cause it was too heavy. 

Reports said that the new rule could bring powders under the same ban as liquids. Powders would be restricted to 12 ounces or 56 grams and further security checks would be done on them. The ban on liquids was introduced after the 9/11 incident. This new rules could mean longer lines at airport security posts which adds to worries that the new UK passport that is blue in colour will increase queues at border control. There was no comment on the report by the department of transport. The sophisticated device was sent by the Islamic State from Syria to a terror cell in Sydney in a meat mincer. "It is for each country to determine its own security measures based on its own assessments” said the spokes man. "We work closely with all our international partners to keep aviation security under constant review."

An associate professor in risk, resilience and corporate security at the University of Northampton, by name Mils Hills said: " these extra restrictions in itself are not going to create a lot of disruption at airport security but it could have the potential to add to general concerns by the public about the safety of flying. These are actually reactive, not proactive, they should before you even get to the airport, it is only the Tel Aviv airport that does that. You have a bomb in your bag and take a look at the crowds trying to get through security, its a little late when a terrorist is already in the airport. Security have to be lucky all the time but a terrorist only has to be lucky once so don’t give them a hard time because they are only trying to do their jobs.
