Airport security joke

How safe are flights from Heathrow airport when women wearing the Niqab are not routinely checked to confirm their identity?

Mustaf Jama, a prime suspect in the fatal shooting of PC Sharon Beshenivsky, assumed his sister’s identity — wearing the niqab and using her passport — to evade supposedly stringent checks at Heathrow, according to police sources.

At the time, Jama was Britain’s most wanted man, while Heathrow was on a heightened state of alert after the 7/7 terrorist atrocities in London five months previously.

If Somalia is safe enough for a suspected Police murderer to flee to, is it also safe enough for a convicted child rapist to be deported to!?!

    Great minds here, and I liked your comment about wearing a balaclava.
    At least the Muslim women could be checked by female Muslim immigration staff, it needn't be a big deal.
    What will it be next, I wonder!

    Have a happy Xmas, btw.

  2. Elle, how can any airport provide a duty of care to passengers when the credentials of every individual travelling airside is not verified?
