A grandmother feared for her life during an eight-hour flight home after security staff at Heathrow Airport seized her medication. Judy Freud was travelling with her husband Chaim to New York from Tel Aviv via Heathrow when her life-saving medication was confiscated.
Their ordeal began after staff at the airport confiscated a bottle of Benadryl that Judy had placed, along with her Epipens, in a clear bag as she went through security. She carries the medication on her at all times due to having a series of severe nut allergies.
Judy told the Mirror: "I put the liquids in the clear bag and they pulled our bag out to search it completely. They said to us that the liquid is the problem, and I told them its my medication for my severe nut allergy, but they were not happy as I didn't have a letter linking the Benadryl to my EpiPens, so they said we can't let this through.
