We stay in Spain in a small family run hotel, earlier this year we were woken by noises in the corridor in the early hours. It seems after sending in his nighly list of guests passport details to the authorities, one u.k. guest had arrived from Gatwick that day with an outstanding u.k. arrest warrent for GBH. The noise was the police arresting him which he was not happy about. How did he get out of Gatwick.
The Sharm el Skeikh bomb looks to have been placed under a seat, which opens up a huge can of worms, cleaners passengers etc., every aspect of the airport has to be secure.
A friend of mine retired a few years back after being head of security at Gatwick airport, he used to cry when he saw my facial ID security which he would have loved, however, I could control the wearing of head gear, something our politically correct brigade, fight against.
I am not sure we have the right balance between personal freedom and the ability to maintain our security.
Aviador: Thanks for all your updates, sorry if I pushed further then you were comfortable in giving an answer, security has been a lifetimes work for me and it just troubles me we are not using the tools out there to make us all safe.
