So you followed me through Security? What if I had my Vanity Case scrutinised? What's it got to do with anyone. I did not discuss the Tennis and we were discussing whether I wanted my Pizza cut into 8 or 12 slices (it was 8 as I cannot eat 12) whilst I waited for them to check for the residue of nasty things on my slap. I have forwarded your complaints to Him Indoors as he is there to carry my paraphernalia.
Seriously, what CWS says makes sense, but in reality it will not work as there seem to be far more bags that go for second screening these days. Second screening implies repacking so now they've taken that away just as the summer kicks off. Terrific. You could not make it up. Still if the Chairman of the Circus that calls itself Heathrow Airport can sleep through the worst crisis to hit LHR in a long while; what can one expect? Did it occur to no one to no one to go round there and bang on the door? Both he and Deputy Dawg should have been given their P45s and sent packing. There has to be someone who has sufficient competence to run the airport. I wonder what Barbara Cassani is doing these days.
