I read the opening statement. Investing in new technology is always good. That has happened in Shannon Airport in my own locality. It has been successful. Generally, that is the smart way to go. However, there are compliance obligations on all airports. It is called NCASP in the industry, the national civil aviation security programme. It sets certain standards. Thankfully, 99.9% of passengers are well-intended holiday makers or business travellers, not wanting trouble, just wanting to get to their destinations safely. Passengers need to know that the other passengers on the plan are also bona fide. My understanding is that European airports have to be to 5B standard under that full regulation. Is that where we are at the moment?
