Whilst some disagree to this journo being prosecuted, I do not.
He DID breach a major security area.
He DID smuggle weapons into a security area.
He DID bring weapons onto an aircraft
He DID tresspass on airport property.
He DID tresspass in property on the airport, being one aircraft.
He DID coerce an airport employee into aiding and abieting him.
He DID knowingly and willing breach Airport Bylaws, National Laws, Air Navigation Laws and a few more besides as well, please tell me why this person, and his company are not prosecuted to the extent of the law.
He has highlighted a known lapse in airport security, it has always been the responsibilty of the caterer to ensure safety of galley equipment and food onloads, the trucks are sealed from their base of operation until they reach the aircraft. Only a sheet of paper with the seal number on it is checked by security. With this in mind, our cabin crew are renowed for their pre-flight checks of the cabin including the meals and trolley. Many a flight has been delayed for security checks by the crew (and there is no way I would ever ask them to hurry or even interupt).
Can any non-draconian security be 100% breach-proof? The answer has to be no, eventually someone will find a hole.
