Perhaps the reason he hasn't been charged is that he hasn't committed an offence. It's not yet a crime to make a flippant remark. And we don't know whether the security officer provoked the remark by an excess of officiousness. Some of them (but by no means all) are very officious.
And how did the gentlemen of the press get his name? Could it be that a security officer made a nice little earner?

I meant that H M Customs are not required to go through security when they go airside. That makes a joke of a security regime that confiscates miniature pen knives and nail files from pilots. If a pilot can't be trusted, should we trust a Customs Officer?
