That would be be a fine first start. BA should have been shaking DfT by the throat from day one for this idiocy.

If BA truly cared about delays, they would have said something by now. So far, "we care about these delays." is just BS on BA's part. BA contributes a lot of money to government coffers. It should be able to have a very strong say in policy.

Oh please. This harassment at the checkpoint will never, ever prevent 'some nut' from getting a real weapon airside.
It's time passengers grew a spine and stopped acting like Little Johnny Peepants and Little Janie Fraidycat and stopped letting the government walk all over them with this nonsense. BA should be championing the removal of this harassment, if they claim to care about these delays.
