Mr Seebohm seems to be a bit snowed under
here.
He is no stranger to
locking horns with the USA; also
here.
He seems to be the head of the EC's aviation security unit, or was until very recently. Security is the most ripe area for job creation, so I would not expect any concessions on dogma from this bruiser. It's a bit like asking Gatwick's head of security whether convicted paedophiles should be given unsupervised access to children.
