As the rest of Europe is now allowing liquids, this all appears rather trite, perhaps the UK should now introduce security checks for transit pax. preferably headlined in the Daily Mail as bold new step in "the war on terror".
Good move !
It scares people who want to sign up to that kind of idea
It further alienates the UK from mainstream European thinking.
It underpins further legislation to allow your local council to snoop on you in any way it chooses for what ever reason it choses.. congratulations !
Three birds .. one stone ! happy days !
