Birmingham Airport new 2l liquid limit

Has anyone flown from BHX since they increased the allowance for liquids in hand luggage? Has it caused much longer queues @ Security? 

We’re flying to Stockholm on Friday. Won’t take advantage of it as we connect @ AMS but would like to be forewarned if likely to be even longer queues.

Not Birmingham but I've flown from Edinburgh a few times recently and they've also increased the liquid allowance. 
If anything it has made the queue times shorter as you can just go through without having to take everything out your bag although it does depend on time if day, staff members available, other flights etc.

We haven't flown yet but as less physical examination is required I would expect queues to get shorter.

Flew from Birmingham in June. Through security around 4.30/5am, around 15 mins altogether. Great new system, just left everything in our bags. Not sure how busy it would be later on though. Many package flights leave around 7-9 so it gets busier!
