Airport security

As the security has tightened at UK airports recently, we were courious
about how it was going tp be, flying at 6.05 in the morning from Gatwick to
Marseille.

You are not allowed to bring any cosmetics and very few types of liquid on
board a plane these days.

Although being asked when checking in, about cosmetics, people still had
these items when approaching the scanner. Security personnel were walking
up and down collecting last minute items, and there was a lady behind us
that have to give up her entire cosmetics bag. The security officer adviced
her that she could keep the pouch.

After having walked through the scanning area in socks and holding up the
pants we were finally ready to fly. They now also want to scan your
shoes...
