I travelled Aer Lingus in March. I checked in my bag and was delighted I could do so because I did not have to deal with half the hassle at security. I could put my liquids and everything else into my hold luggage and just travel through the airport with a phone, a laptop and whatever else. There is a benefit to that but, effectively, Aer Lingus is incentivising people to put their bags into the hold, and that may then cause a problem for baggage handling.
