New airline security impacts flight attendants

I have not seen any reports on how the new security regulations impact flight attendants. I started to wonder about it so I did some checking and found out that flights to/from London have not allowed attendants to bring bags on board. This means that they are working without anything more than their apron and notepad. Moreover, unlike their old method of racing from the plane to hotel, they now have to wait in the baggage claim area, which adds several hours to their workday. And finally, the TSA and airlines have had to discuss how to compensate the attendants for the toiletries, makeup and other items they need to purchase each trip when the new security rules force them to throw it away.

Perhaps someone is reporting on this, but so far I have not found it in the news.
