MAN see themselves as a connecting hub, except that's not the case with no based network carrier. They even set up T3 this way and left it like that when it was mainly Ryanair, who don't touch connections. This could be solved overnight allowing a seamless and much improved arrivals process for every easyJet, BA and Loganair domestic passenger as you suggest, but MAN have a big ego on this one, even though almost no one is using "international connections" to fly Jet2, Tui, easyJet, Emirates, Qatar, Etihad etc etc. The only real options would be Virgin and Aer Lingus UK who are closing down. Even Singapore's US flights were stopped. Time to revisit the pretentious ambitions and focus on the bread and butter?

It's facial recognition image capture of you and your kids, it needs to be legally watertight before you start sharing willy-nilly. It needs to work within the framework of the current law, ISTBC but it's strict.

Well no, as then you can't fly at all. T5 airside is a transit lounge, in order to prevent mandated passports and UK Border processing for domestic flying, they use biometrics, no biometrics, no domestic flight.
