Pilotwolf ... I know he wasn't under duress for this particular event ... and I don't necessarily agree with his actions in going to the press instead of the relevant authorities.
My point though was that
if that had have been the case - ie he
was under duress, then Houston we would have a problem !
But luckily it wasn't - this time - and it
has highlighted yet another lapse in security.
Now just how to close the loop is another thing. 100% security will never happen in a civilian environment. The public won't allow it due to civil-rights infringements, much to the delight of Mr Bin Laden and his followers.
. Would the crews, ground-staff, public or airlines for that matter accept 100% body/vehicle searches by armed forces or security ? The delays and cost would be massive - but it might at least help to reduce the threat.
Somehow I don't think it will ever happen. Thank the do-gooders for that.
As to the kirpin - it just goes to prove that PC is a definate case of the lunatics taking over the assylum !
Whether we agree with the driver's actions or not is irrelevant. Something needs to be done NOW before it's too late.
