Airport Security
At last somebody else agrees with me, well done and many thanks `ASFKAP`for your posting of 12 March.
I say yet again, Security is only as strong as the weakest link, and while HM Customs, Police and others are immune from checks when going air side, there will always be a potential loophole.
I have no problem with and fully accept that as a passenger I am liable for security checking when I go airside, but lets have one rule for us all. Once we start to make concessions and excuse certain personnel from security checking, we immediately reduce and water down the effect of those checks.
On the immediate subject of the EGKK incident, my sixpenny worth is, The driver and the reporter did one way or the other, expose a loophole in the lax security at Gatwick. That said, I now hope they do have the book thrown at them and are considered and treated as terrorist suspects.
