"protesters break into airfield and cockpit of US military transport"
ALASTAIR DALTONTRANSPORT CORRESPONDENT

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Key quote "We have been working closely with the operator of Prestwick airport for some time on the issue of security at the site. These alleged breaches are of concern and further talks were held today between myself and representatives of the airport. We have asked that they undertake a full security review and we will support them by providing expert help." - assistant chief constable Ian Learmonth of Strathclyde Police

Story in full
POLICE ordered a security review at Prestwick airport yesterday after anti-war protesters boarded a US military aircraft unchallenged.


Three members of the Trident Ploughshares group climbed on board a Hercules C130 transport plane, one of whom sat in the plane's cockpit.

They were arrested by police along with five others who were stopped elsewhere at the airport.

The latest security breach came less than 24 hours after four people were arrested when they broke through a security fence and got onto the Ayrshire airport's runway at 12:45am on Sunday."

I hope that doesn't lead to dodgy legal precedent for Britain, like what happened here!
