11-Year-Old Stowaway, Manchester Airport Security

Manchester Airport Holograms and Disney Gimmicks

Manchester Airport has introduced "holographic" security officers, which the hosts describe as cardboard cutouts with faces projected onto them. They compare the technology to the singing headstones in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride. The "robots" instruct passengers on liquid restrictions, replacing human security staff who previously shouted at travelers.
