Re: Another airport security check debacle?

Hmmmm.... this would be one of the guys of whom the then Home Secretary Jack Straw promised would be:

....deported “as soon as reasonably practicable” and said he was “utterly determined that nobody should consider that there can be any benefit in hijacking”.*

Well I'm sure being a cleaner at Heathrow is no picnic but it's hardly punishment is it?....

Apparently he was stopped on suspicion of driving an unlicensed mini-cab and arrested for allegedly breaching bail over an assault charge. **

Oh I heard a customs official claiming, during an interview with Jacquie Smith the other day, that airport customs staff are being moved to 'higher profile' immigration duties to assuage public opinion, leaving major gaps in the checking of baggage..... Wouldn't be the first time HMG's tried that trick would it?...
