Answer 8

have just got back from Turkey so have run the gauntlet of two airports.  you can take sweets through security.  but there are loads of shops in the departure lounge so you could get them there anyway.

A passenger had a bottle of medicine confiscated, which i thought fair enough it's a liquid. But was amazed when the security officer stated that if she had a copy of her prescription with her, then it would be allowed.  

I thought.....
