Thought I'd be useful and copy the banned and non banned lists of stuff so everyone knows before heading through the security we're going to face:

Noisemakers such as hunting horns, air horns, klaxons, drums, vuvuzelas and whistles
Any objects or clothing bearing political statements or overt commercial identification intended for ambush marketing

Restrictions on liquids et al:
You cannot enter London 2012 venues with liquids, aerosols and gels in quantities greater than 100ml. This includes:
All drinks, including water, alcohol, coffee, soup, syrups and yoghurts
Cosmetics and toiletries, including creams, lotions, oils, perfumes, mascara and lipsticks

You are allowed up to 10 containers of up to 100ml capacity each, giving a combined maximum capacity of 1 litre. Part-filled containers with a capacity greater than 100ml (excluding sun cream) are not allowed. You may bring up to 200ml of suncream, but it must be in its original packaging and in a container with a maximum capacity of 200ml.
Essential medications must not exceed a combined total of 1 litre, and we recommend you bring a prescription or letter from your doctor to accompany it.
If you have a water bottle with you, please ensure it is empty before you reach security as there are no facilities to empty bottles at the search tents. Free drinking water is available inside the venue.
You cannot bring alcohol into London 2012 venues. Alcohol is available to purchase inside most venues.
You will get through security more quickly if you keep all your liquids, aerosols and gels in a separate toiletry or plastic bag. There is no need to remove the bag containing your liquids from your main bag, unless specifically asked.
Baby food, baby milk and sterilised water are allowed into venues but must be carried in containers with a maximum capacity of 1 litre per baby. You may be asked to verify
baby food by tasting it.
Examples include:
Soya milk for babies
Sterilised water for the baby
Formula, breast milk or cow
milk specifically for babies
Baby food of various consistencies
Everyone ready?
