[lace-chat] Is this correct?

Sorry to raise something political, but DH had this sent to him yesterday. Knowing that what the US does, the UK usually follows (year grades in schools, SATS, etc), is this correct? As part of our tightened security since 9/11 passports have to be produced for internal air travel here, which
