Since the outbreak of insanity (the UK-driven war on moisture) 18 months ago, I've been scolded a couple of times at LHR security that my 118ml contact lens solution is "too large" and "not permitted." My response - I sigh, point to my glasses, ask if I may be permitted to use my solution one last time to insert my lenses before they steal it from me - and I'm told "just don't bring it again." And off I go, still in possession of my dangerous terrorist instrumentality.
So what have I done lately? Just like you - put it in my pocket.
Sorry to everyone who thinks highly of this madness that masquerades as actual security improvements.
