Ryanair issues luggage ultimatum
Just found this whilst trolling the news sites.
Ryanair has issued the government with a seven-day ultimatum to restore airport security measures to normal or risk being sued for compensation.
The budget airline says a larger cabin baggage allowance and fewer passenger body searches would avoid handing "extremists an enormous PR victory".
The "no frills" airline prefers to put less luggage into plane holds to maintain its low prices.
The government said it would not pay compensation or "compromise security".
A spokesman at the Department for Transport said the government does not believe it has to pay compensation under the law.
The DfT said on Friday: "The security regime in place at UK airports is necessary because of the level of security threat and is kept under constant review.
"We have no intention of compromising security levels nor do we anticipate changing our requirements in the next seven days."
