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

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 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.

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.

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.
