Come to LTN at certain times of the day and play spot the policeman, spot the airport security staff or even spot any TBI staff including people manning the now unmanned information desk. I wanted to report a dodgy character and couldn’t find anyone to tell. If you want to play an easy game try playing spot the abandoned cars in the drop off area. Now that’s too easy.

"A man who was detained under the Terrorism Act at Luton Airport has been allowed to continue his journey to Nimes in France. Police said they had responded to reports the man looked like one of the bombing suspects and he was held while his identity was checked"

1) Why did you believe she / he was dodgy?
2) Given that and the lack of anyone to tell - what did you do in the end?

Departing Ryanair 737-800 EI-DCD was holding in the engine run-up bay for around 2 hours before departing on the FR3256 at 1542. Presumably there's a connection.
