What exactly is it about aircraft/airports/aircrew that sends the powers-that-be into a spin? Based on what I've observed going on in the UK during the last week, the following measures should be implemented:
(a) no vehicles should be permitted to be parked outside any nightclubs, or indeed outside any other soft targets in the London CBD;
(b) extend (a) above to every other city in the UK;
(c) all doctors (no matter of UK or foreign origin) should submit to security searches of their vehicles prior to taking control of such vehicles;
(d) all doctors should be required to wear the equivalent of a aviation security pass when behind the wheel of their vehicle;
(e) all vehicles entering the London CBD should be security checked for explosives;
(f) extend (e) above to every other city in the UK.
Instead, what do we do? We just move vehicle access a milli-poofteenth back from one of thousands of soft targets (airport terminals). Ain't gonna fix the fundamental problem. Next time the "doctors" are just going to drive the Landrovers into a school yard, or a night club, or a hospital lobby.....
Can't ANYONE in power see the folly in all these "security" measures? Of course (a) to (f) are nonsensical, and that is precisely my point - you will never deal with this problem by acting reactively after each latest event.
