- rubicon33 3y agoNot quite as bad. Yes they scan your luggage but shoes stay on and it’s not some crazy full body X-Ray scan

- Reason077 3y agoThe UK ditched airport liquid restrictions in December 2022 (although airports have until June 2024 to implement the change). Specifically, the 100ml rule is now a 2 litre rule. Generally speaking you don’t have to remove shoes at UK airports, either.
- gchadwick 3y agoIt's also just quicker turning up 1h30 early for a Eurostar is very early, turning up 1h30 early for a plane can be a bit tight.
- fy20 3y agoI find it interesting that LeShuttle (the same tunnel between France and UK, but where you drive your car onto the train) does not. They barely do any security checks on cars, and only seem to glance briefly at passports.
