I just cannot understand the reaction to this particular journo.
He has shown once again how poor security still is, how poor the checks still are and that if you are not prepaed to invest in personnel and training it will not get any better.
Do the Pilot fraternity not have an interest in supporting anything that highlights the fact that it is still easy to smuggle articles onto aircraft?
Strikes me that you are much more interested in reporter bashing than looking at the underlying problems.
As for "giving terrorists ideas", well, what utter rubbish!

I think he theoretically managed points 1 to 5!
If he had been the "genuine terrorist" he would have had access to the components and knowledge to set it up.
On point 6, as an airport worker, he didn\'t need to stay on borad to get blown up, just set a timer me thinks!!
