This is a difficult issue to address now, but you should be prepared for the likelihood that many of the security guidelines that have recently been introduced will be maintained for at least some time into the future.
It is unlikely that some of the additional security requirements will ease until a heightening of security technologies is able to overcome the risks, and this will not happen overnight.
Many are already predicting that the security measures already in place in UK airports are likely to be increasingly seen in other airports around the world. Perhaps we can all look forward to having nothing to read but the airline magazine, and nothing to listen to but the in-flight entertainment offered by our chosen airline!

There has been some easing of the restriction on bringing hand baggage on board aircraft departing from British airports. It is again possible to carry books, newspapers and electronic equipment, such as notebook PCs. Anything taken on board has to fit into one rather small bag. The ban on liquids of all types continued.
