Hi Tony,
"Rsuggitt,
I am a professional pilot, and operate out of one of the UK's major airports. IF I was a terrorist, I would not even bother trying to gain access airside through the terminal's after all the boundry fences are not that hard to scale or even cut through."
Yup, that's another method of attack.
"Of course I could get a RPG and fire it out of a van, say a nice luton 3.5 tonne with a hole in the roof, at the end of one of the runways."
And that's another.
And if we all put our heads together, I'm sure we could come up with lots more.
And then if we're all sensible, we'd try to come up with ways to prevent them.
Which, actually, is what we're doing.
"I do not have a problem with any security measures, but the security officers employed at my airport, and I am sure its not the only one, are not in any way professional, just jumped up little dictators."
So the problem is not so much the idea of security measures, but the way they're implemented and the people who implement them. Which part of the issue really needs solving, and how could be be solved ?
