ABC radio new report (1:30 EDT): Other major airports now going to a ‘high visibility presence’ including heavy weaponry to act as a deterrent to copy cats.
Go figure.
Hahahah. Small arms, at most. Frankfurt airport (Germany) has had machine gun toting security for years ... at least 1991 (saw it with my own eyes), and probably decades before that.
Heavy weaponry takes more than one person to move around, or is self-propelled.
