This is an example of a very good and effective tool being used by the Gov.
FUD
Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.
You plant the fear that, at any time, the Gov can make air travel and arrival into the UK difficult. That in turn stops people making plans to fly to the UK for social and pleasure purposes in the short and medium term. You also kick some airline Butts, and make them grateful to accept costly alterations to flights and seating arrangements. (are you listening Mr O'leary)
