It's a crying shame that in the UK airport operators can't do imaginative things like putting lens-size holes into these fences so decent people can pursue their hobby.
OK, so I suppose that a terrorist could shove their Kalazhnykov (abysmal spelling!!) through said hole - and the UK mantra is security is paramount - but other jurisdictions can manage it!
Anyway - I said there would be a negative sooner or later - surprised it took so long really!!
