I don't think that is correct, the only total ban was after the liquids scare IIRC. I flew ABZ-LHR-MXP on 9/12 (masses of seat choice !), and back on the 13th, both with hand luggage, although everything was searched before boarding. I remember at MXP the guy at the Xray screen still chatting to his mates or checking out the girls, as ever. And particularly at the pre-boarding hand baggae check a lady having a large pair of scissors and a steel nail file, and being allowed to take them on anyway.
