All personnel working or travelling through LHR who have access to an airside ID card will have to have them reissued immediately, a spokesperson from the BAA said in the Staines Gazette today. This process could take months and will inevitably lead to misery for passengers and staff alike as thousands of flights will be delayed. The route cause of all this has of course been the embarrasing attention that has been drawn to the lack security measures at Heathrow, highlighted by the two recent multi-million pound robberies.
The first batch of new ID cards should start to be issued as of noon today!
