The BBC story says
"The airfield closure caused delays to four international and three domestic flights. "
Windsheer is right. This was a major breach of security at a BAA airport. If only the airPORTS ensured that the Restricted Zone was more robustly maintained then the stupid and costly restrictions placed on the airLINES could be scaled down.
But that would cost the airports money to employ sufficient manpower - and that ain't going to happen!
