Looking around the chamber, I see that there may be at least one or two members who, like me, recall being able to go to an airport for a domestic flight and buy a ticket over the counter and that and there was no need for identification, no screening and no bag X-ray and that you could simply walk on board the plane provided you had a seat allocation. It was a little bit more difficult on an international flight—you needed a passport, at least. In those days we did not even know about digitised imaging on passports. I hasten to say that I certainly do not include you among the one or two members I mentioned, Madam Deputy Speaker Grierson.
