Apologies to Heathrow

A few months earlier, I had suggested that London Heathrow might be the only airport in the world that make connecting flight takers go through security again. Well, I was wrong. Evidently, Newark does that too. It was built so that people could drive almost right upto the gate, so there is really no large common area for single security screening between the gates and the exits. Thus, every terminal has its own security screening area.

Another interesting bit: apparently Virgin Atlantic doesn' care for the connecting boarding passes issued by other airlines. So if you are connecting to Virgin, you need to get in the check-in line, show them the connecting boarding pass, and get the red boarding pass. That's precious!
