Saw the hullaballo recently of BAA clamping down on the minisized suitcases

I want to take my laptop (in its own case) and 1 medium sized ruck sack
(which im certain will fit in the "tester" cage you see near the check in
desks.

Anyone know if laptop cases are allowed AS WELL AS the ruck sack or INSTEAD
OF IT?

Easyjet have never caused me a problem. AIUI Hand baggage is a carrier
thing (hence weight and size varies between airlines), rather than an
airport thing.
