Well, until someone can convince me there is no longer any terrorist threat I'll be happy to use plastic cutlery, have my shoes examined and be photographed at check-in, anything that will preserve my mortal status is very welcome.
For what it is worth, from the drop-off point at an airport, through check-in, immigration, security, the departure area and the departure gate all passengers are subject to CCTV security cameras so what is the problem with attaching a name to a picture that is already on record, multiple times?
ein " so why do some airports photgrpah the Irish destrinations only?"(sic).
Could that be anything to do with the fact that parts of Ireland and some Irish factions have been actively engaged in terrorism for the last thirty years at least, in some case a whole lot longer?
Time to let go of all that civil liberties rubbish, it doesn't save lives.
