Well if ISIS can manage to convince some teenage girls from London to leave their school and their families, you wonder how many other "targets" they have, you just need to walk trough Luton Airport security to see the irony! Of course it is not politically correct to imply that the airport have employed 50% of their staff that could be likely recruitment tools for ISIS.
Agreed. Anyone dismissing this as a 'Third World' issue, has their head deep in the sand. I would suggest that, while we have been vigilant, we have also been extremely lucky to date.

Just multiply the number of people with airside access at major gateway airports (50,000 av?) x number of such airports and you're into tens of millions of potentially weakest links. It only takes one.

If such a thing can happen, albeit at a 'chance of one in x million' you only have to extend the time horizon long enough and, not only can it happen, it will happen, indeed it MUST happen.

Do we really believe that we will get lucky ALL the time?
