Since I AM going to be changing terminals I WILL have to go through
security when I change planes. So that point is moot.
But someone kindly answered my question re: water purchase or refill
with a link to Heathrow.
I didn't care about the one bag rule as I was already intending to put
my laptop into my carryon and will only have one. I will check to see
what my grandson has.
I still don't know if a cane counts (although I think not), coat (also
think not) and I have some minor questions about something like a
fanny pack would count (I'm guessing it would count)

The reason for that is that it isn't the carrier in question (because
I had no problem with the carryon bag restrictions) but the specific
airport that was in question. In this case Newark and Heathrow. I
did look on the carrier's website and did not find it any more helpful
than the TSA website.
