Sometimes this is the interpretation and sometimes not. I have been told to put 
away my man bag (smaller than most purses) when carrying it on board with small 
carry-on luggage. Together these items were about 50% of my entitlement, but 
they didn't like me having two bags. I believe this was Ryanair.

This means I always check a monopod or tripod since it does indeed count as a 
dangerous blunt instrument.
