Sudanese Man Arrested at London Airport 1 hour, 43 minutes ago

LONDON - A Sudanese native was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday on suspicion of possessing ammunition, police said.

The 45-year-old man had arrived on a Virgin Atlantic flight from Washington D.C. and was in transit, a spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police said. He was arrested under Section 1 of the Firearms Act after passing through a security check, the spokesman said. He did not describe the suspected ammunition but said it was undergoing forensic tests.

A spokesman for BAA PLC, which operates Heathrow, said the man was trying to board a flight to Dubai when he was arrested.

Re: the Sudanese stopped at Heathrow.

Someone on Fox said something that made me pause. The comment was something about tracing back to Dulles to the security guard who would have let this guy board with ammo.

What if security at the airports has been infiltrated too?

It's probably been thought of already, but if terrorists, even one or 2, have been able to penetrate security, then there's no stopping anybody who goes through their lines.

Anything could be brought on the planes that way.

Hmmm, maybe some liberal airport screeners thought he was just returning to his own nation after having been sent to DC by the dnc to vote in the dem primary, you know, as a trial run for the upcoming presidential election. So they allowed the dude to hightail it out of America without checking him or his baggage properly.
