Further to my recent post, see below, I finally received an email from Glasgow Airport explaining why I was not asked to provide any photo id before boarding a BA flight to Shetland.
Apparently, it is the responsibility of the airline to decide whether or not photo id is required. I find this surprising given that onw would assume that hijackers are not particularly choosy about which airline they use.
It is apparently not the policy of the Department for Transport, who ultimately oversee airline and airport security, to stipulate that photo id be provided before getting on a flight.
It should be!
