Hand Luggage On Plane

[sddsddean]

Just a quickie as we are packing to fly tomorrow. Is it OK to pack a hair dryer in hand luggage? (Checked BA's website and can't see why not, but my wife thinks its a problem)
Is it OK to take a small amount (about 2 cupfuls) of washing powder in a plastic bag in hand luggage? Again, can't see why not, but just wondered if security might wonder why we had white powder with us!!

Hair dryer should be OK but 2 cups of powder?I think you may have a problem there. Maybe you could update us seeing as you have already left.

Just back today! Both went through no problem at all.
