Coincidentally I bought a couple of tickets today for some events this Summer; only instants before news of the new international terminal at Beijing's international airport being unveiled to the press.
Ninety million passengers by 2012, 84 shops, 64 restaurants and "a baggage handling system said to be state-of-the-art" (do I find a hint of jealousy?)

I did find this passage about Heathrow's new Terminal 5 a little surprising: "new security measures - including the fingerprint scanning of all passengers - could cause hold-ups"...
"Fingerprint scanning of all passengers"? Did I miss something or is this the Daily Mail just winding us up?
