How’s that for airport security?
Paranoia strikes deeper than
competency.
Four climate change protesters wrapped a banner around the tailfin protesting
at plans to build a third runway at the
airport.
The demonstrators walked through a set of double doors at Terminal 1 and succeeded in making their way across the tarmac without being challenged…
Even though the demonstration caused no disruption to other flights, there was concern at the ability those involved to breach what is supposed to be tight airport security…
Their ability to get onto the tarmac and then climb onto a plane without police or security staff intervening will raise serious question marks about the ability of Heathrow to protect its aircraft.
Am I giving away the deepest secret of insurgencies by noting the easiest way to fool the stiffs who rely on profiling is to imitate the “safe” stereotypes they also thoroughly believe in? Eh?
