BHR, you trying to start a slinging match here? Reading the thread and nobody has got their head in the sand.
We have established that he had a fake pass and gained access to the boarding lounge, and it makes a mockery of the dope checking boarding cards..............BUT as Carlos points out, for not many of your Great British pounds ANYBODY could have done exactly the same, with plastic explosive etc and done what this guy was speculating a "terrorist" could have done and put someting in somebody elses bag. The guy had to pass through x-ray and security AFTER the guy who checks your boarding pass just like everybody else (take note StElmo). I'm sure he didn't tap a guard on the shoulder and say "Hey look, there's Elvis" and jumped over the top. Once again, as already said ANYBODY WITHA LEGITIMATE BOARDING PASS does excatly the same, thousands and thousands of times a day.
Cyclic makes a interesting point, and if you'll allow the drift a little. What if alarm bells had been triggered and airport security had caught him and slapped his ass in jail, or even worse and put a bullet in him What would the media reaction be? He did perform an illegal act in forging travel documents and gaining access to a specific area. Sometimes the media do think they are over and above everybody else, in that effort to get the story. And it gives other people ideas.
