Power blocks

[isdoo]

I appreciate that power blocks with leads are banned now.  Shame as we always used to use ours to get power closer to our chairs, balcony etc. 

 

But what about smaller ones without leads? 

 

Are these banned? 

 

What are they looking for at either security (hand luggage) or the regular scanners?  I assumed it was the power surge, but you can now get this on cordless blocks, so not sure. 

 

Being three pin sockets in the UK ours are a bit bigger than US ones but similar no doubt. 

 

What is general experience of late?

I have brought a power block without leads and had no problem bringing along.   The new boxes with plugs inside them for the Edge and some of the Upgraded ships make it almost impossible to us a power block. 

 

I always just request an extension cord from my butler or room attendant as I usually use my PC from the sofa.   They have also provided a power strip that meets the ships standard on request.
