A young man was before the magistrates court in Liverpool yesterday after being found on board a jet at LPL John Lennon
Apparently, he had walked in through the open vehicle gate before it closed and boarded the jet - a so called "last minute budget flyer"
The belief that the Ketchup Kops at LHR who make vetted employees scrape the red stuff off their Big Macs and the Toothpaste SS who cause queues and delays are about as much use ,or even less, as a blind girl of 98 giving them the once over
The continued strict controls over everyone who can't take water through security but can merrily buy it at the other side (how do the shops get their reservoirs passed security? Or who is conning whom and doing the extra business?)
Of course a nasty nasty captain could pass on a dirty magazine to some other captain and not fly himself. Of course this or that COULD happen and that is the reason for the security controls (that don't work)
But just think back. Why were they introduced in the first place? What exactly DID happen?
The answer is that NOTHING actually happened but INTELLIGENCE (no laughing permitted) informed that they had good reason to believe that something might happen or was even going to happen
I guess it was the same Intelligence that told Tony (and us) that Saddam could blow us all to smitherines in 45 mins
Geez, I was in Paphos the week before the Iraq war started and in Cairo on a day trip the Sunday before it started
Now one guess where the paranoia is coming from and one guess whether the chicanery is really doing anything to avoid the most terrible of perils
If your ticket is drawn then you go. Not before and not afterwards.
