Looks like, amongst other things, we'll all now have to remove lap-tops from bags at LHR as they need to be screened separately (as per US security)

Big security lines at LHR (in FastTrack) last week due to this.

It appears not only to be Heathrow that's implimenting these extra checks. I was stopped at the top of the jetway at Gatwick prior to boarding VS 027 recently for secondary screening.

It's the 1st time since I travelled to Israel in the early 90's that I've been asked to remove the battery from my laptop, replace it, then power it up.

Can't remember any secondary screening when I flew out in November.

*Cough* , so TLTAD I'm afraid
