Anyone who thinks that if information about airport weak points should not be posted here because the terrorists will thus find out where they are and use them has very little understanding of how sophisticated the serious terrorists' intelligence network is.

There is, on the contrary, a great benefit to posting the information here, which is that those responsible for security, eg the Dept for Transport, Police, airlines, airports and so on, may be forced to come out of their comfort zones where "Its impossible to get a bomb on an aircraft in Europe", put down the cup of tea, and actually do something about weak points that the terrorists know much more about than they do instead of pretending they don't exist so as not to rock the boat.

And in that spirit, let's have all have a good look at places where heavy maintenance is carried out in conditions of no effective security, and cargo brought on board by "trusted" shippers.
