"And in the current situation, don't expect the possibility of hand checks
to
remain for very long... As in the UK, it will probably become on of the
first things to go."

At least one UK airline - albeit a small one, Ryanair - has banned *all*
hand baggage. At present *everything* goes in the hold: mobile phones,
laptops, cameras, women's handbags, *everything*. I wonder if this is
something they'll pull back from, or if it'll become more common.

I still say the best policy, where possible, is to buy the film in-country,
soup it in-country and not worry about any of this.
