Though you cannot avoid it at all, you can take precautions while preparing for the journey. Everything is checked very well including the women's laptop bags.

It is illegal to carry items such as weapons, metallic tools, explosives or items that catch fire easily. However, with effect from September 26, 2006, passengers are allowed to carry liquids, gels and aerosols in their carry-on bag. However, all liquids, gels and aerosols should be carried in three-ounce or smaller containers. Certain prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines, baby food, breast milk and other essential liquids are exempted from this rule. However, verify the details with the airlines authority before arriving at the airport.
