I give them credit for the effort at least.

When we were over in Nov I read (in the daily mail I think it was) that they were also tightening up on airport security and that a traveller between arriving at the airport and bording the plane would be asked a total of 56 security questions... that could be interesting.

I went through 3 UK Airports in November, no change, one carry on was the only recent issue, that is supposed to change.

I was also there in Nov (that was when I read the article) the changes were not yet in effect.

If this change 6 months down to 3,does happen it will effect my plans.I was considering spliting 12 months in the UK and the States,mainly because visas are not easy to qualify for.Is this change for sure going to happen?
