that is awful. I would write to Thomas Cook and to the airport customer services

really scary

I'd have been glad to have got through quickly and wouldn't have thought any more of it or done anything about it tbh. But I'm less paranoid than most. Expect everyone else to say there are terrorists everywhere and report it

yorkiegirl,it's so scary,we went on an overnight ferry this summer from dubrovnik to bari and nobody's bag was checked, and when we arrived in italy nobody asked for our passports either,the ferry was packed it would have been so easy to blow the whole thing up

You must have missed that doc about Manchester airport last week then - 'Terrorists, this way please'

Both times we departed Heathrow for Australia they did nothing more than a cursory feel around of the buggy and waved us through. They did ask me to take any bags that were in the basket of the buggy out. Last time they took our car seat that dh had and xrayed that but did not take the same care with the buggy.

As a contrast both Singapore and Australia made us take dd out of the buggy and put the buggy up for xraying. In fact when I went to pick up my sister in law at our domestic airport I had to take dd out of the buggy and have it xrayed before we could proceed to the gate to meet them!!!!

we didn't have to submit buggy for x-raying at all, Heathrow, Changi or Perth. Must admit I was just grateful not to have to haul kids out of them at the time

What a nightmare! When we went to Florida (from Manachester) last month, our buggy went through the normal scanners both ways. And in America more than once. Scary isn't it!

Mind you in Manchester our bagswere selected to be hhand searched on the way out. The guy saw there were 7 of us and balked. He then decided to just choose 3 bags - the smallest ones. He opened my sister's bag. Saw it was full of shoes(!) and bags(!!) and her underwear(!!!) and the young lad searching it just ran his hand over the top and then closed it up again. No looking inside pockets or under clothes at all. Hmmm.

Glad you had a great holiday by the way
