Oh come on, every other airport I have been through in the UK is happy for boarding card to suffice, there's no ID check beyond that required. Are they all just reckless?
The sheer randomness of security theatre is wearing, forensic examination, and this daftty really did go through the pages as if she was UKBorder staff, of a four year old wee girl, on a domestic sector, is *comic*. Passenger safety is not meant to be funny and each step should have a sensible logic and rationale behind it.
To be clear, the security checks at LGW, don't vary, they've always been boarding card to enter the secure area, passport check at gate.
