Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, foreign secretary Philip Hammond said security may need to be boosted in areas where Islamic State is known to be operating.
But he admitted security everywhere could be further reviewed with experts predicting this could lead to further restrictions on what passengers can carry in their hand luggage and further checks.
Hammond said: “If this turns out to be a device planted by an (Isis) operative or somebody inspired by it, then clearly we will have to look again at the level of security we expect to see in airports in areas where (Isis) is active.
