Eek, not good. Was it in checked baggage or did you try to carry it on in hand luggage? I've taken straights with me on planes before and never had a problem (touch wood), always in my wash kit in checked luggage though.
I used to travel a lot (read, over 7 months of the year), and I was completely brain dead, knackered, and wanted a quick exit on the otherside and didn't bother checking my bag in, (this was before the water bottle/container farce) and it went through fine, however (and this is a credit to them) they thought, hang on a sec let's just have a look - and there it was, a complete mistake, I asked them if they could post it to me, or if I could check the bag in at the gate (the flight was leaving imminently) they denied me... I wish I had missed the flight tbh, but at the time you think to yourself **** it I just want to go home.

Bob - I wouldn't have had the time to do that and get the flight, I was deliriously tired after having been to about 4 countries in the space of 8 days, I had barely made the flight. I'm getting myself a new one for Christmas though.
