This article is translated from Czech by automatic software, so it is not a great translation. But it shows, how the British airports are being overactive in annoying people with extreme "security measures". I am already buying my tickets in such a way as to avoid London alltogether, if I can.

Europe moves to May next tightening controls at airports
Europe moves to further tighten controls at airports. At the end of April entry into force of Regulation 300/2008 of the European Parliament and the Council on common rules in the field of civil aviation security. Britain is already planning to be manually checked every third bag and every three passengers searched and will have to take off. Prague airport, major changes expected.

Yesterday 11:59 - Prague
"I do not expect that this new legislation or implementing regulations for it to be any major change to the existing situation," said news Spokesperson Prague Michaela Lagronová.
Information on very strict controls infiltrated by the British Airport in Luton, where they prepare all operators handling passengers. Since May, will have to take off and manually scan every third passenger and manually scan every third case. Regulation has a force throughout EU (http://tema.novinky.cz/eu) and touches the Czech Republic, which was confirmed by a spokesman for the airport. What specific controls will have passenger and his luggage at the Ruzyne airport Prague (http://tema.novinky.cz/praha) 1 through May, but did not tell.
"We can not comment on whether it will be third baggage. At this moment we do not have detailed regulations for the legislation, which must come in the Journal. We expect that the more we learn sometime in early April. Only then we will be able to analyze and twenty days it starts to work, "added Lagronová.
Ministry: We will not be as strict as the British

Implementing regulations issued Ministry of Transport, his spokesman Karel Hanzelka said that such stringent measures as in the UK with us probably do not have to implement. Britain, he said goes beyond the standard.
"Each State shall implement the Regulation in its entirety, but one does not preclude any State may impose more stringent measures (the so-called" more stringent measures "), but other countries must be notified - which is probably the example of Great Britain on shoes and hand luggage ' told news.
Details of the measures introduced at airports in the CR, however, not fully published or when you come out Journal.
"This is sensitive information and regulations for airport security department, so as not zveřejnitelné, part of the legislation remain secret, will not be able to state how much is carried out random checks. Even when the safety case has erupted two months ago, we could not measure fully disclosed, "an airport spokeswoman said the fact that neither the current measure is not disclosed for security reasons

Rather that than fly with the underpants bomber!

For longevity, you might opt to fly from London.

There are obviously still far too many people who do not understand that it is not what you carry on board that present a danger, but what you intend to do with it.

The current reactive approach to security is a screw without end, and as long as the public allows itself to be frightened by the rhetoric of both media and governments, it will continue to be turned.

That in itself is evidence of a system that is not working.

As a fairly regular holiday flier, mostly long-haul, I have to say that I don't resent the security checks at all. O.k. it is a hold-up, but a very necessary one, or would the travelling public be happy with no security at all? it seems to me that security personnel are damned for doing their job, and damned if they don't do it well enough!! Is it really that bothersome to have to put up with a little hassle from time to time????. There are plenty worse things happening in the world than just a security queue!

I've never had cause to complain., or maybe I'm just not the complaining type, I guess.

Anyway, going to Sau Paulo, Brazil, shortly, followed by another internal flight shortly after arrival, so my somewhat benign temperament may be tested!!!!

Yes, on this photo it looks like a railway station. But I can confirm, that it is a Prague airport, terminal 2.
