Overview

• TikTok user Melanie (@comehangout_melanie) highlights four items—metal accessories, cargo-style pockets, loose-fitting garments and hard-to-remove shoes—that often trigger security delays
• Metal detectors at UK terminals flag any metallic objects, from coins and hair clips to jewellery, resulting in additional screening if alarms go off
• Passengers still must follow existing rules on liquids, keeping containers under 100 ml in a one-litre clear bag and removing electronics for separate X-ray checks
• UK airport authorities are exploring the possibility of scrapping the 100 ml liquids limit this summer, but the restriction remains in place until officially revoked
• High passenger numbers during the upcoming peak season make outfit choices and security compliance key to reducing queue times
