LHR Security: SCARY AGAIN!
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
You will never ever achieve 100% security. There will always be a way. Most security is purely cosmetic and would never deter a determined terrorist attack, especially if it is of the suicide type. Only the average nutter might be deterred by security measures.

as somebody who is regually a LHR/LGW spotter and who regually works airside at both security is a bit of a joke. Im a engineer and regually carry a tool case through security with little but x ray examination. I could easily pass a very sharp object to a pax via a drop off point.
Also short of putting a 15ft concrete wall round all airports the permiter fence is easily cut through and a 2 min sprint across the runways in the dark will give you easy acess to many airliners. Not to mention standing somehwre like Richmond or Windsor with a shoulder launched SAM.
There seems to be a great deal of security aimed at pax but this is not the weak point.

Is this the same Sky News which was strongly criticised for making up a montage of old shots about the firing of a missile from a ship during the start of the Iraq conflict?
The reporter was "sacked" and procedures "tightened".

Love the solution! It really appears that they understood the problem

In future crews will be escorted from the aircraft so that they don't go into the wrong area.
