Euorotunnel Security

Compare and contrast flying, with the Eurotunnel! It occurs to me that they may be a bit too relaxed but it suits me. I have been thru 3 times this year and it almost too easy. Check in with a camera verifying the number plate and a machine checking your credit card, prints a boarding pass and you are done in 2 minutes. Security asks questions about pets and gas cyclinders, I have had the car 'swabbed' for traces of explosives and that's is it. In what way a train being blown up under the sea is thought to be less of a problem than an aircraft being blown up I don't know. I now don't bother with flying anywhere unless there is no other way; as retired person I don't have to go anywhere on business and I have adjusted my holidays to whatever I can do by car/tunnel/ferry
