Weapons or no weapons, why compromise your security and that of our British public for the sake of a pair of jeans and tee shirt. If these pax had to move from the Gulf by commercial means, would you think they would travel in uniform, I think not! So rest my case. Its not a stupid request that the "Movers" ask pax change into civvies, its common sense. So give them a break. They have a job to do just like us!
I shall use my Moderator's privileges to declare that you, Sir, are a twat of the first water.

I trust that you get great pleasure from your grasp of bureaucratic idiocies. The rest of us will continue to declare our admiration for, and pride in, our servicemen in uniform.

God, give me strength.
