Well sid and Vol, your determination to single out myself seems to have made your argument stray. Sid. I don't recall making any comments against the work of the Police helicopter. You and Vol have miised the point entirely. Niether of you have actually made any sense. I have not claimed that security is perfect. I have not claimed it was not a major breech that should not have taken place.
I have said that no one was going to move because of it. I also said that the cost v risk evaluation would take precedence over your idealistic fort Knox scenario. The airport is a business going through a tough time. It's not going to throw money at the situation. The fence is a deterrent, not a barrier. It's the same type of fence as all other airports. This is not just a BHX situation. You seem to think that because the people responsible torched the aircraft at BHX the breech itself is different. It isn't they all have potentially the same outcome.
Obviously you have both decided that the personal attack adds strength to your points. That's fine, but it only makes you feel better, not look better.
Where was it the Police are moving to?
