Will they search you before boarding?

when i flew from MEX to JFK - they were checking all bags right by boarding gate. so i put my small suitcase on table, and starting talking to the guy and kinda distracting him, and he didnt realize the briefcase on my shoulders which had liquids.

LHR seems particular hard on babies. They only allow it in the baby bottle, and last time they made me drink some formula. Ech

same here, i never had a problem in USA or israel or for that matter anywhere, but when i flew out of china they confiscated 2 lighters from me!! they said its illegal. and it happened also when i flew domestically in china - that time i was coming back the next day so they held it for me.
