RE: New security charges at airports
yes, I would also be willing to pay a mere £7.00 if I knew I was going to be safe and that every passenger was thoroughly checked before boarding and flight. But is this money really being used to bring in more security staff at airports?
In the US, I would expect they charge about the same as UK, if not less. We Brits seem to have a moral panic about just about anything and so, we’re probably paying more for extra security but not actually getting anymore security whatsoever!
(I used the word ‘security’ one too many times… sorry!)
