There is no one around as I slip through the sliding doors from the arrivals hall airside. Suddenly a metallic voice shouts and a siren blares. Within seconds police will be on the scene. I have been caught where I should not be at Manchester airport – not by man but by machine.
The airport – the country’s fourth biggest – is the first to have installed a security network from Human Recognition Systems. That’s not surprising as the company was started just a few years ago in a cardboard box factory in Liverpool.
