People are really, really stupid about the liquid ban. Here, you can't ESCAPE being told about it. On the "travel size" toiletries in the local chemist: "REMEMBER! Only 100ml of liquids allowed in hand luggage!" On the self-tanning cosmetics: "REMEMBER! Only 100ml of liquids allowed in hand luggage!" In shops where they sell teeny empty bottles to decant toiletries into: "REMEMBER! . . ."
I mean, it's one thing if a traveller is elderly and confused about the original regulations (my mother nearly refused to get on the plane to go visit the EG when she heard her lipstick would be taken away - she's very conscious of a slight droop in her mouth from Bell's Palsy - luckily, the regulations had been changed a day or so before, and lipstick was now OK again), but tht woman clearly was just a moron.
