I think that they should just get their facts right. like they should know what you are allowed to take on board and what not, they are just putting a ban on it just now, although im suer you are allowed to take something like a laptop case on with you although not a hand luggage bag, or something, have a look on the baa site, or why don't you email them asking what you are allowed to take, that is a good idea, i'm sure they will get back to you!

Don't fly. Drive. Way less headaches and you won't get blown up or have you throat slit slowly with nail clippers.
