Absolute rubbish.
The only additional checking at ports will be if the EU so demands it on entry to the EU. Calais have said they are already ready for this. Aircraft movements would not cease - this myth was put to bed months ago. It is the EU that would have a huge gulf in its security as they would no longer have access to our 5 eyes intelligence. Our security is comparatively easy - we are an island! We already have trade agreements with non-EU countries; these would be rolled over (as Liam Fox is currently doing) or negated by tariff free WTO terms.
Of course they will be an impact - otherwise why bother leaving at all. But I believe that it's a positive impact in the long term

That's what I thought, though had no evidence to confirm. Surely most manifest's are done electronically anyway and it will be straight forward case of tariff free or subject to import duty.
Anyway it may all be academic as the smart money is on staying in.
