Hello from Gatwick airport. Arrived Wednesday evening. About to board my third scheduled flight. I hope it doesn't get cancelled again!
As an American, the British response to this seems very restrained. If this incident happened in the USA, I would have expected tight, armed security everywhere in the airport. Gatwick just seems like business as usual.
- tomalpha 8y agoThat seems about right. There doesn’t appear to be an armed threat against the airport. Lots more guns would seem like security theatre. (Not that that doesn’t happen ever).
