Can anyone explain the logic behind having to go through security during transit from an international flight? Have there been any cases of someone obtaining something illegal during the mad dash between the plane and the next gate? Asking for a friend

My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
