I really think this is being overblown, although I always enjoy others opinions on things, my only real complaint is these bags are heavy even when empty, but otherwise bulletproof.
Admittedly if I get a London I’ll come up with a plan B.
Liquids aren't criminalized any more....not limited to the 3oz rule and they stay in your bag....no longer pulling out the zip lock bag.
And it's not being overblown by pilots exaggerating.....LHR security is 100% sending pilots with 26" bags to the check in counters to have their bags checked.
