From the Argus - 11:51 am
Sussex Police release a statement:
Police were called to the South Terminal at Gatwick Airport at 8.20am on Friday (22 November) following the discovery of a suspected prohibited item in luggage.
To ensure the safety of the public, staff and other airport users, a security cordon has been put in place whilst the matter is dealt with.
Considering this was discovered at 8.20am, it's taking a bloody long time to sort out the problem! How on earth does it take over 5 hours to deal with something like this? Given the huge disruption this is causing, perhaps there is more to this than the authorities are saying, or else they are just incompetent...

I would fly my drone in for a quick peek although last time I did that it caused quite a kerfuffle

I once got stopped at Heathrow early one morning as my breakfast, two pain au chocolat, was seen as suspicious by the scanners
Working towards 16:00 reopening.
But BA are cancelling most not if all SH flights, I imagine others will be the same

I've hauled my luggage and my sorry ass to Horley and have found a train. Queue a mile long at North Terminal for non existent taxis. Loads of weary travellers, half walking from Horley to Gatwick and half going the other direction. All good fun.

Have to feel sorry for the bloke who has lost it. Utter collectors item with the wrong spelling and all that. Maybe we should ask on here...I think that has to be my favourite benign troll of the year.

Initial indications are that suspicious package in Nine Elms was a hoax device, say officers
