So maybe security staff are minimum wage earners at LHR whilst here in the US they are Homeland Security. Just a thought.
That is the CORRECT thought, in my personal view. The money saving ethic of BAA plc has been evident for many years and even other privately owned UK airports have gone down the same route, LTN (Luton is a regional airport to the NW of London and similar to Stansted and Gatwick as also serving as subsidiary London ports) and their new terminal (eight years or so) is rubbish. Each time I go through, I can see where they saved money and made the pax life more awkward.
