Get ready for more restrictions and new laws to passed
It was only 4 days ago that the transport secretary for the UK had sounded intent to change the regulations on security checks at British airports.
Philip Hammond was responding to senior figures in the airline industry who had backed BA chairman Martin Broughton's attack on measures imposed by the US. Mr Broughton said many of the checks were "completely redundant". Mr Hammond said he would be allowing airlines to look at ways of "easing the passenger experience". Mr Broughton had criticised the US for imposing increased checks on US-bound flights but not on its own domestic services, saying the UK should stop "kowtowing" to US security demands. He said practices such as forcing passengers to take off their shoes should be abandoned, and questioned why laptop computers needed to be screened separately
