MAN Airport is still charging for plastic bags in T1 as of Wednesday. I think they are still free in T2 and T3.
True. But it is sold at the airport, it's about the right size, and it also contains four empty 100ml plastic bottles, where 100ml is exactly the maximum size allowed, so people aren't really making a huge leap of logic to assume this is a bag that is designed for the purpose of taking liquids through security.
Funnily enough, in the 10+ airpots I have visited in the few weeks since I bought the bag, the only place that's had issue with it is the damned place I bought it from.
It's hard enough getting your toiletries into such a small bag in the first place without additional obstacles being thrown in your way. I feel like MAN are trying to make me start checking bags again
