Although it can be bought in the Airport’s departures lounge, people who buy it elsewhere and try to bring it through security are finding it is being seized long before it gets anywhere near a slice of toast.
Razor blades are the most confiscated item overall.
And there’s bad news for anyone planning a spot of DIY, as the seemingly harmless Allen keys also feature on the list.
