Imagine you want to blow up an aeroplane... Do you present yourself at security control in your best burka or favourite niqab? Or carrying the quoran whilst quietly muttering “there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”...? Of course you don't. You dress-up like Ann Williams – pack the explosive device under the M&S girdle and turn up radiating sweetness and light as if butter wouldn't melt in your mouth... So don't blame our border guards. All officers on front line duty at border control are trained to suspect ANYONE and EVERYONE they see. The rules and procedures are so simple (read the E-ticket) they hardly need explaining. No under-wired bras – put all belts, watches steel-rimmed glasses and loose change in the tray – all cosmetics, tubes of suncream/medical potions in the hold – light footwear – and off you jolly well go.. |
