Actually, it was affecting UK-anywhere flights (including anywhere-US 
that transits UK). And a subset was affecting US-UK (including 
US-anywhere transiting UK).

The rules have been changed now, still no liquids/creams, but you can 
have a *single* carry-on that includes any manner of electrical items 
and is no bigger than 17.7"x13.7"x6.2" (it's round numbers in cm). The 
rationing is to limit the number of things they have to examine, rather 
than because the airplane bins are too small.

Handbags, laptops etc have to go *inside* the one bag mentioned above; 
what they haven't explained is whether pocket contents have to as well.
