Mains plugs in hand luggage?

Can you take leads and plugs in hand luggage? like laptop and camera lead and plug?

Although I'm not clear on the actual rules, I have always taken these in my carry on without incident.

tic no problem with that, would be ideal if they are in a see through bag,

No Problem. I do not expose them at security.

LOL......
might be better if you dont bag "em with some batteries and modeling clay for the school kids........:eek:
