Haul By Cable has it spot on IMHO.

Many slate the driver for helping the journo through.

BUT what if some terrorist had an accomplice with loaded weapons pointed at the driver's family back home, and radio comms to ensure 'retribution' should the driver alert security to their presence ?

What would YOU do if you were in that position ? Would you alert security ? Would you do your hardest to protect your family ( OK - so the chances of the terrorists letting you survive once they are onboard are zero, but would you cling to the hope ... ? )

So call for the driver's head if you want ... but he has highlighted just how easy it COULD be !

To me, the far more serious 'crime' was committed by the people responsible for our airports' security.
The one weak link in security will always be the human factor !
