So, back to the original thread. These people certainly committed the civil offence of trespass,but they also presumably broke the airport bye-laws and possibly the Air Navigation order and other national laws.
So why did the police release them without charge? Or is anyone allowed to wander at will across an active airport?
If so why should aircrew bother to submit to airport security on the way to their company's aircraft?
