The decision to downgrade the UK terrorism threat level from  
"critical" to "severe" means there have been some changes to security  
measures at UK airports.

Each passenger will now be permitted to carry one item of cabin  
baggage through the airport security search point.

A number of airports, including Edinburgh, Southampton, Manchester,  
Newcastle, Norwich, Liverpool John Lennon and Blackpool, have already  
introduced the changes.

Stansted, Glasgow and Aberdeen, all run by BAA, said they were hoping  
to lift the restrictions at about midday on Monday.

Security brief

However, BAA is warning the policy will not be implemented at  
Heathrow and Gatwick until 0430 on Tuesday, giving it time to fully  
brief security staff on the new measures.

Until the new measures on hand luggage are implemented, the  
restrictions put in place last Thursday will remain.
