The airports in the UK have been on hightened alert since the arrest of two dozen suspects in the liquid bombing case. I flew in Canada last week and there were no liquids and the standard scan of bags and check of my laptop (although they were most interested in the star wars fighter in my son's backpack). We all feel really good about flying because of the outstanding security staff. In reality, however, this low paying jobs are not attracting rocket scientists and we might be getting fooled by nice uniforms. Case in point.
A 12 year old boy in England ran away from a foster home and managed to get through security and onto a plane without a ticket, boarding pass or passport. This happened after the liquid bombing threat when security was supposed to be extra strict. They apparently caught him when someone else showed up and wanted into the seat that he was sitting in on the plane.
Keystone cops? Makes you wonder how smart the bad guys are.
