"As soon as the incident occurred, airport security was turned up to 11 with many passengers talking about being patted down and full bag searches not just at security, but also actually at the boarding gates. On international flights (like the one I'll be taking from the UK to the US in a few weeks) passengers aren't allowed to get up, or have any personal items on their lap in the final hour of the flight.
