Not at all. Many people avoid Heathrow because it's a terrible airport and many more because they don't want to submit themselves to the UK justice system, which is as classist and corrupt as they come.


You also have no human rights in British Airports. The state can just randomly decide to question you. They'll force you to hand over passwords to all electronic devices and slap you with a terror offence if you don't comply. You won't even have the right to remain silent.

You'd be well advised to avoid a country this like.


Avoid France too for the same reasons. Similar laws exist for disclosure of passwords etc


I would love to see a source for this.
