mandragoraJust flown in from Washington Dulles (meant to be *the* most security conscious US airport) to London Heathrow a man born in Sudan (regarded by the US as a suspect state) with a pocketful of live ammo.
So, let me get this right. Everyone flying in (unless exempted) has to be photographed and fingerprinted but they're allowed to board a plane with live ammunition in their pockets on their way out of the US.
Well, I suppose under the US Government's rationale, as they're leaving the US that's okay. Well, except for the US citizens on the plane, of course. *snerk*
All those billions of dollars spent and yet they're still paying the people responsible for security in US airports peanuts. With predictable results.
