The Brits need to FEDERALIZE their airport police like we did and this couldn't happen! When they FEDERALIZE the firefighters then we won't have any more fires either. Oh I love the Feds!

Coming soon, to an airport near you:

The airport has a good reputation for security but has been in a bitter battle with unions over the cutting of 140 security staff.

Ah, yes, and just imagine how much BETTER our airport security will be when it is staffed by uneducated punks who are now (or will soon be) Government employees. Bad things will happen, citizens will be harrassed, guns will get thru, and then when greiving families try to sue for negligence, guess what? Governmental immunity!

Not to mention that the failure of the Demonrats to require that these people at least have a high school education represents a massive fraud on the American people. Congress went along with making these incompetents govt employees because they were promised "upgrades" in the quality of loser being hired to do airport security.

Alas..!

Any bets the .50 cal they found in Utah will turn out to be a plant by some would-be "hero?"

It doesn't look as though getting a bomb on an commercial flight is all that difficult:
