It always comes back to the same thing doesn't it??? 'He's (Customs, Police, Immigartion) not being searched why should I be.' As I recall of few years ago, The same News Of the World found that you could forge references and other documents used to 'vet' aiport staff. The Control Authorities, Police, Customs and Immigaration have far higher level of checks done on them...I don't recall the NoW blasting out the headline, 'Police officer has criminal record', do you?
So when are you going to face facts, the threat does not come from Police etc. The threat doesn't come from a driver who rings the NOW and then sneeks in with a jurno in the back. But it does highlight a breach. The BAA can't garentee 100% security, and are on the whole releuctant to admit there is a problem. The way foreward is perhaps to admit that they cannot give 100% protection, and maybe start a reward scheme for staff who point out flaws in the security system. Think about it, BAA would know first and be able to tighten things up, and the fincial insentive to go running to the papers would be removed.
