She explained what had happened - the desk lady went to get the Security manager for the whole of Heathrow who took Mrs Buzzy back to security and demanded of the security bitch who had stolen the milk where it was as the rules say Mrs Buzzy is perfectly entitled to take milk on the plane.

They got Mrs Buzzy's milk out of the fridge and returned it to her.

All of this with 2 toddlers to look after!

Way to go Mrs B

So the milk that they'd confiscated, never to return to the eveil-maybe-bomber lady, they put in the FRIDGE?!
I have no sympathy with this sort of idiocy - do they really think any terrorist will be stupid enough to bring liquid explosive now after what has already happened? It's just an immense amount of hassle for all the ordinary people and does not make me feel any safer at all.

I rest my case. The milk was stolen for their own personal use and not in any way because of potential terrorist action.

On the radio there was just another article about this - they said now passengers are allowed to carry on small quantities of liquids - up to a litre in total, if I was listening correctly.
Of course based on the story on this thread, new guidelines may mean nothing once at the security gate!
I think we should all get guidelines in writing before flying and kick up a fuss at security if they try to STEAL belongings.

Can you still buy duty free liquor prior to departure?

I would be extreemly p*****d off as well. When I mentioned it to Ian he said that although some explosives are sensitive to heat some are also sensitive to cold, so you would never keep an unknown, potential explosive substance at anything other than ambient temperature (all points to them having run out of milk for their tea/coffee ).
I hope that the rest of her journey was OK.
