I've read your reply HT. Didn't the criminal character of access through a fence at Brussels recently clearly demonstrate a weakness?
General John Handy stated the use or threatened use MANPAD at airports is the greatest threat we have ever been faced with and I'd imagine you don't have to take down an aircraft at close range these days. Just damage ground infrastructure and you have the desired political and psychological effect.
