london heathrow security note
About 30 minutes ago (I'm writing this note from the aa lounge) I went through security in lhr. When I went through the detector, a signal sounded, and I had to be patted down and wanded--these showed NO irregularities. I noticed several other pax were being patted and wanded. I think their equipment is giving false positives--anyone else have problems recently?
There were NO special shoe checks (as they did in the past, using special machines) and there were NO passport checks.
[In some US airports if you walk through the detector slightly off center, this can cause an alarm, but in the US they generally just send you back.]
