The decision to downgrade the UK terrorism threat level from
"critical" to "severe" means there have been some changes to
security measures at UK airports.
Each passenger will now be permitted to carry one item of
cabin baggage through the airport security search point.
A number of airports, including Edinburgh, Southampton,
Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Liverpool John Lennon and
Blackpool, have already introduced the changes.
Stansted, Glasgow and Aberdeen, all run by BAA, said they were
hoping to lift the restrictions at about midday on Monday.
Security brief
However, BAA is warning the policy will not be implemented at
Heathrow and Gatwick until 0430 on Tuesday, giving it time to
fully brief security staff on the new measures.
Until the new measures on hand luggage are implemented, the
restrictions put in place last Thursday will remain.
