Can someone please explain what the real security risk actually is?
There is no security risk and the whole charade is pathetic. I can understand why you would not take films of these areas in tyrannies like Qatar, China and so on. Or in free countries where they are sensitive about these things and you do not have an automatic right of admission like the United States. But this is the UK, where we do things openly and everybody knows that everything run by the government or a big private sector company (but especially the government) is a shambles. "Security" is just an excuse to cover up for management incompetence. If everybody was filming and taking pictures the management would have to do something about the queues and general poor service standards, which would cost money that could otherwise be spent on making tax more complicated or hiring community cat champions.
