Expect FR to tighten all such regs and use more enforcers as described above. But, in the recession, they will balance very carefully the times they clamp down and the times they let them go through. After all, if you clamp down EVERY time then people will be cross and stop using them But if they only sent to the check-in desk one flight in ten? They will reckon it worth it overall. As I repeat, never underestimate FR.
