Travelling to the UK ?
For those of you who might go to or through the UK by plane, here is an article of some interest : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4778615.stm.
To sum up, if you get there, you can’t take any hand luggage, what you might carry has to be X-Ray, you’ll be asked to remove your shoes (X-Ray too) and hand searched.
Best parts : “For those travelling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight (nappies, wipes, creams and nappy disposal bags)”.
Jackpot for those travelling to the USA :
“In addition to the above, all passengers boarding flights to the USA and all the items they are carrying, including those acquired after the central screening point, must be subjected to secondary search at the boarding gate.”
Welcome in the UK !
By the way, don’t forget to shave : if you look like a terrorist (as if they had a special look), UK police has the right to keep you as a prisonner for an unlimited time. Enjoy !
Edit: a friend of mine made this prediction : “soon, they will ask people to wear some kind of white overall with the number of your filght, and some slippers for the security check, and people’s clothes will be in their luggages. And all luggages will go with a different and totally automated flight”.
