INSPIRATION FOR THE NEXT 9/11?

Following the Glasgow burning Jeep incident a few years ago, I was impressed by the bollards, diversions and moving of the traffic lines away from terminals to protect those assets.

Well done Transec and all the other bodies allegedly working to keep us safe!!

Alas, the miles of chainlink fence, occasionally out of view to either Tower or some CCTV cameras remains just that.

So all our wild-eyed hairy-faced fundamentalist friends need to do is to repeat the Glasgow manoeuvre but this time take the Jeep full of burning gas canisters, or the cut-price version could use concrete blocks, and charge into the path of the "Heavy" nearing V1 on the runway via pre-cut (at night) fence and make the headlines big time.

What's Transec and DfT doing to address this? Oh yes, I forgot, my 200mls of sun-tan lotion will be confiscated by the jobsworths along with all the other window-dressing measures called Aviation Security.

C'mon Transec/DfT, let's have some positive response for a change???
