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.

Well, since they are so busy frisking and searching old ladies and children, that leaves less time for the real threats!! That new color code system (red, yellow & green)may be very helpful in this regard.

Considering the type of people that used to work in screening, that's a scary thought. I hope the TSA vetted them carefully, but if they have a good cover then anything's possible.

Now, as for the people that service the plane???? Oh brother, I think the catering, cleaning etc. are still contracted out and that is a big hole in the security as far as I'm concerned.

You don't think it hasn't been? Of course it has. The question is: how extensively.

Ever been through Logan in Boston?

Not an English speaker in the place, last time I was there.
I'm sure there's affirmative action for terrorists in assachusetts.
