Comment At a modest estimate I have passed through well over 200 airport terminals - and hence their security systems - right across the planet including Australia, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East and Scandinavia, since 9/11.
[29 Apr 2008]
Comment My overall verdict - it's a fine airport terminal, although I'm hardly the world's biggest fan of the departure lounge. I was off the plane - and had picked up my luggage - and sailed out of the airport in just 10 minutes.

Comment Written at London's Heathrow airport after a confused journey through the newly opened Terminal 5. Then there is the basic signage that fails at every basic level to get passengers from the front door, through security and to their gate without...
[14 Apr 2008]
Comment On the bright side, thanks to passengers refusing to be finger printed, problems with the "high-tech" computer security systems failing were avoided and as a result planes managed to leave the airport with passengers onboard.
[03 Apr 2008]
Comment So essentially the 'new' ID card scheme will consist of ID cards for foreign nationals and people working in high security risk areas or occupations - airport workers being the first to be targeted. Z is for Zurich Airport
[07 Mar 2008]
Comment Z is for Zurich Airport Addleshaw Goddard's Paul Bentham says biometrics may be hailed as the ultimate security measure - but the technology is not without hazards. N is for Network security Integration with security systems is a key one, where a...
[23 Nov 2007]
Comment The fortunate truth is the vast majority of people on this planet are good and well intentioned and airport security systems are not 100 per cent overt. Weary and disoriented, having already passed through all the US security checks eight hours...
[12 Nov 2007]
Comment The McD's at the top of the Champs-Élysées has been doing this for years and is very useful if you are waiting for the airport bus. What about hash generating private keys, which would allow forgery and threaten the security infranstructure...
[11 Oct 2007]
Comment I'm hoping there aren't lots of prematurely torn up boarding passes at that airport. While that will be most Britons who travel - hedging my bets again here - by its nature an airport serves an international public, most of whom won't have had such...

CIO Profile Rundle joined BAA in 1995 and is responsible for all the IT and telecommunications across the airport management company. BAA was bought by Spanish construction business Ferrovial for £10.3bn last year and IT director Richard Rundle's challenges...
[06 Jun 2007]
Comment Allowing an hour to check in and pass security, plus an added 15 minutes should the Heathrow 'Xpress' (ho ho) be up to the levels of service I normally seem to experience, we're already up to two hours and 45 minutes - and that's before the...
[04 Jun 2007]
Comment Written on BA6947 flying from Malaga to Gatwick Airport and dispatched to silicon.com via a free wi-fi service in London a day later Fortunately, or unfortunately, this move entails a near complete rebuild of a property and the installation of...
[30 Apr 2007]
Comment For nearly a year I have considered joining the iris-scanning security trial at Heathrow Airport. What a shame - for want of a few extra pounds a really good technology solution to airport security has been degraded to a joke.
[18 Apr 2007]
Comment On the way from the airport to the hotel the taxi passes miles of grey slums, single story buildings with corrugated roofs. Last year all the talk was about how to head off security worries around personal data being stolen by call centre staff.
[08 Mar 2007]
Comment These issues tend not to be as much of a burden to those who move from one fixed but remote encampment to another - coffee shop to airport lounge - but can be very disruptive to those who need more frequent access on the move.
[19 Feb 2007]
Leader Airport security, for instance, is shaping up to be one area where biometrics are welcomed. This should be no real surprise for anyone who's been through airport security in the past five years. Our globetrotting blogger Peter Cochrane has long...
[07 Feb 2007]
Leader Take the fulsome praise you will hear for the iris recognition offered as an option to regular travellers through London's Heathrow airport. Take the story about biometrics being used for door security at pubs in Yeovil.
[31 Oct 2006]
Round-Up And speaking of security there are plans afoot to improve airport security with some nifty technology - implanting RFID chips into the brains of all airline passengers. OK, the tracking tags won't actually be implanted into the brain, or any part...
[20 Oct 2006]
Comment Written at Copenhagen Airport after a delightfully easy check-in and relaxed period in the airport lounge. A 45 minute wait on the approach road getting to the airport terminal, followed by a 20 minute wait to get to the front of the line at...
