Just passed through busy security at Edinburgh airport.

Leave everything in bag. Straight through x-ray with no search.

Had a laptop, FT817, handie, two LiPos, power bank, garmin, spare phone in the bag.

Also at Aberdeen, however when we left for Barbados, there were specific instructions to take toileteries, laptops etc out of bags. Given the amount of electronics I was carrying, I left them all in. No issues, no search, no swab.

No search, no swab, no glove? :crazy_face: :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Cheers Fraser, updated to add Aberdeen and Barbados to the list. Also, nice one on 145 Alive day, fair play to you braving the weather it was atrocious.

EDIT: Thanks for the below, Victor. OP updated.

On my recent trip to Cyprus, Belfast International Airport have the new scanners, everything left in the bag and no questions asked. On the return from Larnaca I just put everything, (radio, spare battery, laptop and GPS), out in the trays and once again no questions asked.

Cyprus - a beautiful Island but if flying through Pathos rather than Lanarca, a couple of tips to the wise,

  1. car rentals from companies in Pathos are a lot cheaper than at the airport
  2. on the return journey do not arrive early to the airport as there is no self-service bag drop, the check-in desks only open 90 minutes before your flight and there is nowhere to sit in a very cramped departure area.
