Travel terror security stepped up


Mr Brown said security would have to be tight at airports

Security will be stepped up at railway stations, airports and ports as part of government attempts to tackle terrorism, Gordon Brown has announced.

There will be new security barriers, vehicle exclusion zones and blast resistant buildings, but air passengers will be allowed more luggage from 2008.

Rail travellers at large stations will also face having their bags screened.

The PM's statement came amid confusion over his security minister's views on detention limits for terror suspects.
