I was talking to a woman in the departure lounge who had come through security with 2 lighters in her handbag, she didn't hand them in and they weren't picked up by security screening.

The worst thing is that when you give up your lighter and go through to the departure lounge, they will sell you a lighter there for twice the price. It is the same with bottled water. Manchester airport were charging £1.75 ish for a bottle of water!!!!! It's not even famous water or water which has trickled for centuries through caverns lined with diamonds..

These pathetic attempts at increased security are nothing more than a money making scam.
