Travel: Security not alert
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MY FELLOW passengers to Luton will be pleased that I was carrying nothing more sinister than a computer, camera and cassette recorder (plus a litre of highly corrosive Albanian brandy) in my cabin baggage. The door to immigration and security at Corfu airport was closed when my flight was called. Not wanting to miss another plane, I pulled it open and began to walk through. I expected to be apprehended by the three officials who were enjoying a cigarette break, but they made no effort to check either me or my bag. I wonder what else got through?
