I think the changes here are spot on. I travelled through on Friday night going to MCR and there were no queues through X ray (ok i know BA have gone and left a huge hole here in terms of PAX nos but i think the new procedures will be able to cope with everything once airlines move to T1 - and it was Friday night so was busier than other days). I also liked the fact that i could actually go and get a meal airside and potter around the shops whilst i waited for my flight, rather than just opting for a sandwich and a sit at Gate 8 or in what was the BA domestic area. Although i knew where i was going, it was good to see BAA staff on hand to direct domestic passengers to the right place. Am not too worried about the photo taking, ive had it taken at LGW before and MME has been taking photos for a while now due to the shared departure area (although they only have 4 gates and not that many flights departing at the same time!!!). I dont care if they keep the photo or not!
