What is more, the eye scanning and alarmist security control is soul destroying, that is for anyone with a modicum of discernment, which is in short supply these days, unfortunately.

I have destroyed my passport in protest, along with all my other documents of citizenship. The fact that your eyes are scanned just goes to show how bad things have got since then. I never even had to show my passport going to Ireland and even when I went to Australia a few moths earlier I just needed the passport and visa alone.Ben Emlyn-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858990047274822000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907980016894811549.post-78339282343004528092015-07-07T19:14:21.984+01:002015-07-07T19:14:21.984+01:00As a matter of interest Ben, what do you do when y...As a matter of interest Ben, what do you do when you leave the UK by plane? When I fly out of England from Ireland my retina is scanned, which nowadays is used instead of a passport check? Not that I am happy about but this being Ireland, the 51st State of the United States, and as such we go along with everything are betters tell us, I don't have much choice except set sail in a currach.Laurencenoreply@blogger.com
