OK relief all round. Despite rumours that all passengers would have to go through a security check again before boarding planes (though I think this will be happening for US flights) it is alright to take a book on board once through security. Not sure I could manage a flight without one so will be heading for the Gatwick branch of Books etc as soon as I am allowed to pass.
I can manage without my make up, I can manage without handbag but I CANNOT manage without a book!
