Firstly, the jurno is not lightly to be prosecuted, it would not be in the public interest. He has shown a loophole in security at Brum, and that alone will negate any attempt to get him into court.
Did the press do this before 7/11? Yes they did, on a regular basis. So did the father on of one the victims of Lockabie.
Paxboy,
Did you read the artical? The point is that he has all the compants to make a bomb, except the explosives. Those are not difficult to come by if you happen to move in terrorist circles. He was not going to kill himself, as he wasn't planning to staying in the cargo hold, where he quite obviouisly would have been able to place a bomb had he brought the real thing with him.
While I am not a fan of the press, at least they have not got thier heads in the sand on this matter. Which would you rather have? This sort of artical, or photos of a smoldering hole?
