Why the hell don't they put someone willing through the airport?

Or are they so worried that person might give the game away that a completely innocent, unknowing person seems like a much better idea? :shock:

In a way it's more sensible as the carrier won't act oddly and if the airports used the same people all the time then the security staff would just recognise them.

What would be a bit worrying would be if the explosives leave traces on your luggage which get picked up the next you fly.

That's all I could figure with it, but it wouldn't be too hard to find somebody different with a passport in the overall team doing it surely?

Yip, and that RDX is fascinating (and baffling unless you know your science) stuff going by it's Wiki page, I have to say :)

LOL :D

I wonder if someone was following him with a score sheet? 5 points lost because the airport security didn't smile nicely and welcome him into the airport.

:lol:

What right do they have to tamper with his luggage like that. I'd be furious if that was me.

But one of the things they look for is suspicious behaviour. A real terrorist would know they had explosives and exhibit behavioural signs of that.

And a funny walk if they had it rammed up their “tradesman’s entrance”.

Which would probably fool the new scanners from what I've read :roll:
