Put Creme Eggs in your suitcase because they're a security risk! Heathrow and ... trends now
Brits have been warned that Easter eggs may be deemed a 'security threat' if they are brought through UK airports.
Heathrow and Bristol airports have told holidaymakers they could face egg-stra scrutiny if they try to bring the holiday treats in their luggage.
Both airports added that creme eggs may be confiscated as they could breach the rules on carrying liquid due to their filling.
Bristol Airport even said security staff may remove chocolate eggs from their packaging to be inspected.
This is because staff need to scan the hollow chocolate treats to see if they are being used to store banned items like drugs, and small explosives like grenades.
Heathrow Airport has also advised passengers to store the eggs in cases if they intend to bring them on the plane.
