I just read this on have your say.
"It's looking like more should be spent BUT while I sit cosy at home, hearing of utter chaos at Heathrow Airport, disgust and anger swoop over me. The current situation affecting passengers makes Hurricane Katrina pale into insignificance. BAA should be sued for expecting folk, especially elderly and infirm, to sleep on floors swathed in tin-foil like turkeys ready for the oven. One does have to wonder if airport officials tasked with communicating information to passengers are suffering from lock-jaw or their mouths are frozen. And why has the airport stopped people from taking photographs? Hmmm, all very suspect. Warm thoughts to those stranded in and out of the airport - hope you get basic humanitarian help as soon as possible. Is BAA scared of having spend a few quid from their annual profits? Shame on them! "

There was a fantastic interview on the Today programme this morning.
The woman used the term "like a war zone" on two occasions, expressed disgust that people were allowed to buy alcohol from M&S and said she was worried about what would have happened in event of a fire or a terrorist attack.

She kept saying how worried she was about her kids
the clear implication being that she thought that forcing people to stay in a terminal overnight turned them instantly into alcoholic peadophile rapist kidnappers.
