Yet another thread turned to Ryanair bashing. As the man said, Nell, if don't like Ryanair don't use them. You know they only allow one bag as do EasyJet if that is not enough luggage for you either pay for a bag in the hold, fly with another airline or go by car. That will leave more space for those who appreciate the service provided by Ryanair and the really low fares.
Why not post a sensible answer, people will appreciate it more

My friend and I bought some of those tins (in a little net if I remember) and when we went though security at Limoges she had her confiscated but mine when through.
It also depends on the airport. Luton do a "one bag" policy for going through security, but the Ryanair crew have never checked baggage at boarding time.
At Nimes, we went through security with a bag of toiletries no problem. Coming back through Luton we had to put the contents in the clear plastic bags.
Prepare for the worst case (one piece of hand luggage, no liquids) and there should be no problem.
When I flew last week the woman ahead of me was stoped and made to squah everything into one bag, not by the Ryanair staff but by airport security. I thought she'd gone a bit too far. I don't think they mind a smallish handbag and an ordinary standard piece of hand baggage which is what I had. This woman hand what I would have counted as two pieces of hand luggage.

When I fly Ryanair I go from Liverpool to either Limoges or Bergerac.
It is the airport security that maintain the one bag rule, I have a small trolley cabin bag and a hand bag. I am always made to put the smaller one inside the other,
But after I get past security I take it out so I have access to my personal things.
I then tend to buy all sorts of things in the duty free area such as books, sweets, magazines etc. and I usually have another bag to put them in.
When I actually board I have three items of hand luggage!
I have never been challenged by Ryanair staff, I actually think it is the airport that control the hand luggage, Why would they have all those shops post control side if you were not allowed to take the stuff aboard!
