It's all bad news today, no argument there.
Those of us who work in commercial aviation know the need to keep security tight, but I have to agree with the previous posting, knee-jerk reactions are always bad news. If there is a need for really tight security, let's all stay on the ground.
But if LHR traffic is being vectored to 4-5 mile finals for westerlies to avoid overflying the city of London, then what sense to allow the continued use of LCY, with traffic from some of our smaller less security-conscious airfields?
All or nothing seems the best way forward to me.
