    The no food beyond this point means that you cant keep on munching a burger and drinking coke/Tea/ coffee etc while passing through security.

    All sealed food is okay as long it is kept in your hand luggage and is not liquid in nature. I travel a lot and have checked this with several airports in the UK in the last few months.

    Actually I'm pretty sure that the security staff are employed by the airport, not the government. So if they've decided to have a "no food past security" rule chances are it has nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with increasing retailers' and airlines' profits.

    More likely to be that strange British habit of going completely over the top on every thing.

    No liquids = no drinks:- therefore no food , no nothing ! Mr Jobsworth takes over...................

    I would agree with the comment about who actually employs the security staff - the airport operator.
