Immigration Heathrow

After a long journey and 20 minutes in a holding pattern the last thing you want is 15 minutes in a line. But that said I have to admit I was impressed. There were about 6 lines f or EU passports with the new uniformed staff on each line, with a few heavies lurking in case of trouble. Every passport gets scanned and they do actually look you over to see the picture is you. Plus I liked the no nonsense approach. Yes I could have done without the hassle, but it has to be done and they seem to be doing a good job of it. -- Edward Cowling "Must Go - Politician to Heckle !!" I haven't really got my head around the changes but I don't think things have changed radically overnight, Apparently, the difference is that they are now no longer allowed to decide not to check every person when the queues are long. They now have to check everybody and the queue length is someone else's problem to (not) sort out. tim |
