Implementing compulsory identification checks for people travelling to and from the Isle of Man by sea will signal a "culture change".

It's an issue that's sparked debate between our listeners - Adam says it's a "great move", Elaine agrees we need to take a "serious look at security" but Peter says he doesn't think it will deter crime.
Mr Watterson says he will evaluate both the political and public appetite for change:
