Are you reading the same thread?

Surely BHX should have similar?

Looking at the size of the hole cut in the fence at BHX, I think its a fair bet that this would have provided either airport security or WMP sufficient time to go and investigate the fence panel reporting a tamper, or at least get them in the area and perhaps limit the damage by reducing time taken to get the AFRS on scene. I would add that this warehouse belonged to a large American company, and the contents... jeans. So I think it is a reasonable expectation that the 6th biggest airport in the UK had something more advanced than a simple wire mesh fence
So, perhaps you just don't want to hear it?? Is it a tad embarrassing that a clothes retailer looks after its jeans better than BHX protects a major international airport, and one of the countries biggest police forces didn't notice?

Yes... all the way back to Post 75, when I clarified it...

Is this the admission I sought? How can you have been in any doubt about how lapse it has been in the past though, given the very high profile exposes?

Obviously, on a day to day basis... BHX. Can you tell me who is responsible for crime prevention / detection / public security at BHX?

Oh, and going back to this...

Can we assume that all your posts are written with the rose tinted, WMP can do no wrong, specs provided with every pay packet?? You're only really proving my point that it WMP believe they can do no wrong, and refuse to admit when mistakes have been made!
