I thought Mervyn Granshaw came across quite well on Sky News too ,commenting that perhaps present restrictions/ procedures were misplaced ( i.e jumpseat restrictions) and suggesting that Crew/staff have some kind of universal biometric pass. However, talking to a highly placed friend of mine, I understand that nobody in Transec is willing to stick their neck out and reverse decisions previously made , even though they themselves recognise that they are ludicrous. Just about sums up the U.K at the moment.
