OS try to cook their own soup again. Noone said that hand luggage despite all UK departures are forbidden. Not at the TSA homepage nor at the homepage of homeland security. They are just a bit crazy and try to make it as convenient for themselves and VIE as possible and forbid any carry on luggage. is way faster for security checks... I already called them and asked whether they are totally crazy. LH e.g. allows carry-ons but ask pax to keep it to a minimum. liquids etc. are forbidden.
