Nice Cash Cow, That Terror

Airports cash in on terror checks: £5 charge to jump queues 'they keep long'

"Airports are cashing in on the queues at their security gates by charging passengers to use fast-track priority lanes.
At least eight have introduced the system and are charging travellers up to £5 to beat the queues.
A whistleblower security guard at Luton Airport, which adopted the system last year, claimed there is a deliberate policy to let the queues grow to encourage people to pay for the express lane.
The claim was made as travellers were warned to expect more stringent checks in the wake of the cargo plane terror plot emanating from Yemen."
