The UK has now downgraded the risk of terrorism from “critical” to “severe” and one piece of baggage can now be carried through security at airports in the UK. The size of the bag is limited to about the size of a small laptop bag or rucksack Handbags may be carried inside this bag.
No liquids of any type are permitted through airport security, apart from baby food and baby milk, which must be tasted by the passenger carrying them (yuk) and prescription medications.
Apart from flying to the USA you may buy goods from the departure lounge and carry these on board.
I am told that there are no definite changes to what you may carry on board the flight when you return to the UK but the reps are recommending that you keep all hand luggage to a minimum and avoid having liquids in your hand luggage.
Flights from the UK today Wed 16th were arriving on time and there were no disruptions to the timetables that I could see.
It is advisable to check out current information as restrictions are subject to change
