"If you're standing in the queue and the security officer is arguing with someone saying. ‘No, you can’t bring that through. That’s a bottle of whatever’ or the bag is just full of liquids."
The journalist told RTE's Claire Byrne Live: "We all make mistakes. The thing to do is you can ease the passage of the security queue by making sure all your liquids 100 ml or less are in the zip lock bag which can’t be any bigger than 20cmx20cm. So don’t come with those big supermarket ziplock bags you can put a frozen turkey.
"And the staff is going, ‘Anything you can do to make our life easier and make sure that you get through the security queue as painlessly as possible will be helpful’. So be ready, be prepared."
