British airport officials have just picked up a guy who flew in from
Washington, on Virgin Atlantic, carrying ammunition. -WASHINGTON- for
god's sake. You'd think US airport authorities would be on the ball, but
this proves what crap it all is. Look, you're in danger wherever, but
just as much in danger on the subway (from suicide bombers) or from
some crackpot with a gun on the street, or from some drunk driver
either at home or in Jamaica.
Don't lose sleep over it. Anything is extraordinarily unlikely to happen.
'Ammunition' man held at Heathrow
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/3396667.stm
A Sudanese man has been arrested by police at Heathrow after being found
in possession of "ammunition", airport operator BAA said. The 45-year-old
man, who flew into Heathrow from Washington DC, was intending to fly on
to Dubai. The man, who was picked up by ordinary security screening at
the airport, is not being held under the Terrorism Act.
He is currently being questioned by Heathrow police, while forensic experts
examine the ammunition. The man arrived at the airport's Terminal 3 at 0740
GMT on a Virgin Atlantic flight, police said. A police source said the man,
who was arrested under the Firearms Act, was not a known terrorist suspect.
A Virgin Atlantic spokeswoman confirmed that the man had flown from
Washington Dulles to Heathrow on flight VS022. She refused to comment
about security surrounding the flight or if air marshals were on board.
