Thumbs down Cheering Gatwick baggage loader the local Bin Laden organiser?

Any one at LGW got more on this one?

My despatcher yesterday recounted the baggage handler who, on returning to his staff room for a break, saw the WTC atrocity unfolding on the TV. Whereupon he started punching the air and cheering.

He was 'assisted' off the premises by his workmates, sent home by his employer, and now we are paying for a Police guard on his house, in case anybody torches it.

I am told it is thought he is the local Bin Laden contact.

This character would have had access to aircraft cargo holds of American Airlines, Continental, North West, US Air and who else from the USA who serves Gatwick.

If this is true, how much vetting is done on ID card applicants?
