How easy is it to breach security?

Kia Ora,

Big news on the security front today is of course the bombs on board cargo planes.

The claim of course is that the terrorist groups had worked out that whilst all luggage is now checked on passenger planes it is not on cargo flights.

What Einstein thought that terrorists would not work this out sometime?

I would say the terrorist groups have known about this for sometime, but let things slide so they could use it.

But there is another question that some will be asking. It just seems a little strange that this happens just as other countries were questioning the need for some of the security requirements the US demand for flights heading to America.

Many of the security requirements have been just for show & really add little to security. There have been the aids available to ensure as much can be covered as possible.

Now as soon as this issue came to light, security requirements ramped up again & all talk of cutting back measures ceased.

The world doesn't have to live in terror as long as the simple basics of security are carried out. The best way to do that is manpower carrying out constant checks. Everything else is nothing but an aid.
