I boarded a plane with an aerosol can’

Colette Hume on board her flight to the US

Security measures for flights inbound to America stepped up a gear following the attempted attack on a plane heading for the US on Christmas Day.

How then was I was able to unwittingly carry a 200ml hairspray can - twice the liquid limit - onto a Qantas flight to the US, after two separate supposedly rigorous security checks? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8440067.stm

It would be very easy to fly with hairspray in a carry-on. They make those little purse sized bottles of it - I have some tucked away for when I travel. Mine came with those "name" brand shampoos. I would imagine it would be easily flammable were a match to be ignited near it.
