Hi, I was on a flight from London Heathrow to Shannon Airport in The Remublic of Ireland ten days ago and had no problems at all. They asked me if I was carrying my laptop in my hand and I simply said yes. No hastle, no problems. It was the same coming back four days later.
I hope this helps - I too have travelled extensively around the world with my BN and had no problems whatsoever!
