Woods For the Trees.

It seems that this countries security services can`t see the woods for the trees. Whilst airport security spend their time probing pilots and taking bottles of evian off innocent passengers in the "name" of aviation security, the terrorists are at the local esso filling their jeep full of fuel to drive in to the terminal building.
What would stop them driving a fuel tanker through the security gates at Heathrow into an aircraft? I bet the security staff wouldn`t stand in front of that bu**er!!! Haven`t they seen casino royale?!?!?!
Don`t get me wrong. Security checks are essential (even for pilots) but things have gone too far! This is just the chaos that these people want to achieve.
Security is like a chain. It`s only as strong as the weakest link. Bottles of water / shampoo / pilots shoes are not the weakest link!
