Business travellers told to avoid Heathrow
by Amon Cohen

BA is taking measures to ensure passengers do not miss their flights
Business travellers are reacting angrily to increased delays at London's
Heathrow airport following the introduction of increased security

screening
measures. Airlines and travel agents are warning passengers they must

arrive
at the airport two hours before departure, even for short domestic

journeys,
to be sure of catching their flights.

Some passengers are getting very annoyed indeed, one airline told Times
Online. It is taking them a lot longer to get through security than they

have
been accustomed to. According to airline sources, queues to pass through
security are taking as long as one hour at peak times.

All these wasted hours for all these thousands of passengers.

I just wonder, statistically, how many lifetimes all this wonderful security
costs.

Must have been another Transac review.

Make air travel as painful as possible and even the terrorists will take the
train instead.
