News: New Security Measures for UK Airports

From the BBC: In a statement to the House of Commons earlier today, Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced the recommendations arising from a review of airport security and further intelligence briefings. The main measures include:

• Direct Flights from Yemen to the UK are suspended until security concerns are addressed.
• A "no fly" list is to be established to prevent suspected terrorists from travelling to the UK.
• A second list of lower risk suspects will be established entailing 'special measures' for those attempting to fly to the UK, such as more stringent screening (officials are not currently specifying anything further).
• All UK airports and ports to follow the 'e-borders' scheme, designed to collect personal data on all passengers entering or exiting the country, by the end of the year.
• Enhanced global cooperation to enable suspect individuals to be checked against watchlists 24 hours before flying to or via the UK.
• Full Body Scanners at British airports next week.
• New Intelligence teams to identify threats to British security abroad.
