More confusion to reign..........

The sole sensible suggestion in this lot appears to be the suggestion to allow transfer passengers to keep their duty free.

To have different rules at different airports, with less restrictions at busier airports, based solely (it appears) on the number of passengers passing through makes no sense, or are the EU & security bods conspiring against the poor travelling sods to yank our collective chains once more?

Surely it would make more sense to approve the types of scanning machines & mandate that commercial airports should have them installed by a specific date & then relax the liquid ban say three months after this date to allow for screw-ups, late deliveries, training periods & other delays?

Oh, wait one - that's horribly close to applying common sense. That'll never happen.
