I have been travelling from Manchester-Heathrow and Heathrow-Manchester with BA a fair bit with work recently and observed the following:
In the business class lounges that you enter after you have been through the metal detector and bag scanner there are glass tumblers, glass bottles and metal cutlery available for use. Surely this represents a security risk as you do not pass through a metal detector again prior to getting on the flight. You could easily slip a bottle or knife into your bag and use it on the plane to attack someone. The bottles are large bottles of spirits and wine that are for self service purposes.
I emailed BA to report this but as yet have had no reply. Maybe it is me being overly cautious, or my natural scouse instincts kicking in, but it doesn't seem like the best idea to give people access to knives or bottles that could be conceald within hand luggage prior to getting on a plane.
