And Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper told The Sunday Times: 'If the only way to avoid a nightmare queue is to fork out over £1,000 extra, Britain's reputation for travellers will be in shreds.'
A report in The Observer newspaper today claimed staff shortages are so severe at Heathrow, frontline officers have had to abandon screening for passengers smuggling arms and drugs into the UK.
A senior official, who chose to remain anonymous, told the newspaper Heathrow could be described as having 'no border controls' at all when it comes to smuggling.

希思罗机场的“后门”服务近日引起争议。只要花上1800英镑,富有的乘客就可以不用排队,直接接受入境服务。
这项被称为希思罗机场“最高机密”的服务招致了批评,很多乘客在入境时都被迫经历排队3个小时的煎熬。
此前,由于排队过长和人员紧缺,希思罗机场的海关工作人员已经停止检查乘客是否携带武器和毒品。
乘客交1800英镑后,一下飞机,就有豪华轿车立即把他们接到VIP套房。他们可以在那里边喝香槟边等待护照检查,行李也会被运过去。
费用可同时包含六名乘客,即使其它乘客在航空站排着长队,工作人员也会赶来优先接待他们。
