Some more airport related shenanigans for you this week, as a photographer from Derry, Northern Ireland, wins a court case against Manchester Airport, who took a picture of him without his consent as he passed through the airport.

“Mr Harkin said: “This is an important victory for passengers from across Northern Ireland who have endured many years of discrimination simply because they are from here.

“While I accept the need for security at airports, especially with the continuing threat from international terrorism, I strongly believed that ordering passengers to have their picture taken without explaining the reasons behind such requests was immoral and downright rude.

“The airport has now claimed the measures have nothing to do with terrorism laws, but are designed to meet Customs & Excise standards.”
