Newsstand - Business travellers told to avoid Heathrow

http://travel.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11250-2050548,00.html

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.

I hope BAA takes it on the chin when people avoid this stupidity at Heathrow. :td:

That is normal in the States :D

The lines are worse than usual. More so for clearing from landside to airside than for transiting airside. But transiting has gotten somewhat worse too with the "laptop rule".
