Quite right.

BUT this message appeared on the BA website when retrieving a booking:

Increased security checks at London Heathrow Airport

Please note that you are now required to remove all laptops from hand baggage, and also need to remove your belt before proceeding through the security control area. Please allow extra time to complete security checks.

Laptops, belts. Whatever next ?
