Has anyone been through a UK airport recently with the new size restrictions on cabin baggage?

I purhcased a camera bag that is the perfect size for Virgin Atlantics regulations, but now the governmant have put some very tight size restrictions in place. The main problem is that the depth of the bag must be no larger than 16cm. Even my smallest bag is 17.5cm deep.

Do the security people actually measure the bags, or is it possible to get a bag which might be 1 or 2 cm larger through?
