USB stick Heathrow

Found by a man walking along a city street in Queen’s Park West London, the stick contained specifics about where CCTV cameras, tunnels, and escape routes are located. And, as Hilary McGann and Ralph Ellis report for CNN, it also held sensitive information such as the route the Queen takes when using the airport.
