Taking extreme changes...

It seems the airlines are taking deep action after the NW253 incident.

Companies have updated their travel advice to include:

• Only one item of hand luggage, including items bought airside (British Airways and Virgin will not charge extra) 
  
• If your presents are wrapped, check them in
• Passengers subject to "pat-down" searches before boarding, on top of usual security checks
• Customers to remain seated during final hour of flight
• No access to hand luggage and a ban on leaving possessions or blankets on laps during this hour

 Anyone can spell the words "knee jerk reaction?"
