Gatwick - North Terminal

It's a precaution because of a suspect package according to BBC news just now.
No mention of a person or suspicious behaviour now.

Security has been very tight at all airports for some time so good to know it's effective too.

Agreed. I'm surprised at people in the security queue who complain at having to remove belts and shoes. I'm so grateful that I have to.

I do not know enough about other cities but in London one can only walk a few steps and a CCTV is at work. Apparently France is now going to take a leaf out of our book and increase security as apparently they have been rather lax.

I have no objections to high security wherever I go and I agree it is good to hear that it is effective at airports too, I was working in central London during the 7/7 attacks and it was scary- being a case of "there but for the grace of God" etc.

I always felt that never should the b*****s get us down and I continued as usual but I was more aware of what was going on around me when on a tube etc.

South Terminal is now affected - no-one is being allowed to leave the building. No more details at the moment, it's just been on local news.

I've never complained about security precautions anywhere and a don't understand those who do.

Just read the latest on this story.
