Travel Advice

This was the travel advice that I found off the Qantas website:

The following arrangements now apply:

Customers are permitted one small bag (45cm x 35cm x 16cm) to be taken through the security screening x-ray point and carried on board the aircraft.

The bag must not contain:

• Any liquids, cosmetics or toiletries, including gels, pastes, lotions, liquid/solid mixtures, perfumes and the contents of pressurised containers that have been obtained prior to the security checkpoint, for example, toothpaste, hair gel, deodorant, shaving foam and aerosols - these must be checked in as hold baggage.
  Note: Once customers have passed through the airport security checkpoint in London, goods, including liquids and gels, can be purchased and taken on-board the aircraft.
  
• Cigarette lighters are not permitted in hold baggage or through the security search.
  

The bag can include:

• Electronic equipment including mobile phones, digital cameras and MP3 players (such as i-Pods).
  
• Keys and books.
  
• Prescription medicines (up to 50ml) in liquid form are limited to sufficient and essential for the flight (e.g. diabetic kit), as long as they are verified as being authentic by copy of prescription.
  
• Baby milk and liquid baby food (the contents of each bottle or jar must be tasted by the accompanying passenger in the presence of a security agent).
  
• Laptops may be carried on board but must be removed from the bag for x-ray.
  
• Pushchairs and walking aids are permitted but must be x-ray screened.
  
• Wheelchairs are permitted but will be thoroughly searched.
  

The part in italics is so funny:
Baby milk and liquid baby food (the contents of each bottle or jar must be tasted by the accompanying passenger in the presence of a security agent).

Sigh.. What is the world coming to now?

It's getting so ridiculous!
