Its time we all got used to enhanced security, access restrictions and more ques at not only EDI but all UK / European airports. The 'nightmare' scenario we see ourselves in now is here to stay and will probably get worse rather than better thanks to a few 'rogue' elements within our society

As Spain has implemented the new APIS (Advanced Passenger Information System) requirement (a full year early), the ques are already lengthly - even before the attack on GLA last week. Wait until the rest of Europe implement the APIS system this time next year! That coupled with the Americans 'withdrawing' the Visa Waiver system for the British...

Batten down the hatches and get used to it!

Maybe the tram system (hanging by a thread) for the airport will be saved...
Could also utilise the longstay at the top of the airport road, with busses going up and down to the airport. Couldnt possibly be any dearer than the BAA carparks!

Could turn the multi storey car park into an 'extended' terminal, to house the ques of people!!!

Whatever next!

PS - Having worked at EDI for the past 18 years, nothing would surprise me now, knowing what the BAA are like
