I submitted this comment:

According to the article, "passengers noticed that, despite the heat, the pair were wearing leather jackets and thick jumpers and were regularly checking their watches." Yet all the lame-brained Tory Homeland Security spokesman can come up with is that the two men were victimised "because of the colour of their skin". Mr. Mercer has obviously not stopped suckling the teat of political correctness and frankly ought not to have a job in his current capacity.

I completely agree with you and for the reasons stated above.

The website still says there are no reader comments. Interesting.

Having been to Spain, in August...I can tell you that no one wears a leather jacket in the midst of summer. It just doesn't happen. If these two idiots showed up and kept wearing the leather jackets...there is a reason. Whatever the security guys missed...would have been used. This makes me believe they've figured a way to insert the material into the lining of the jacket.

Would the passengers have done the same thing if it had been european looking men in the same style of dress acting the same way?
