A criminal conviction could lead to a fine.
- estel 10y agoWell yes, but you couldn't immediately receive a notice with a significant fine.
- peteretep 10y agoThe OP's point was: they either think you're trying to bring down a plane or they don't. Punishing minor infractions is not on their menu.
- xyzzy4 10y agoExcept for drug offenses
- gsnedders 10y agoAlmost: the important point is they have no right to impose any fines; any punishment will be done by the British Transport Police in accordance with British law, and there are relatively few crimes of possession in the UK (drugs are an obvious one, but even then a first arrest for Class C drugs is typically dealt with by means of a police caution). Essentially: any punishment arising from a security checkpoint would be a police matter, and have nothing to do with those manning the security checkpoint.
