A CNN report that Farouk Abdulmutallab may not even have had a passport and was placed on the Detroit bound plane by a well-dressed Indian man at Amsterdam airport.
It seems that the one part of the explosives were sewn into Farouk Abdulmutallab's underpants
So I presume we can look forward to having to be be imaged by full body imagers at airports and consequently even slower crawls through security. I also presume that it will be decided that no profiling will be allowed so 70 year old Nuns will be scanned as well as 20 year old bearded Muslims.
I am sorry to have to report yet again that we are at war. We may not want to accept that we are at war but war has been declared on us again and again. Islamic jihadists have declared war on the West and as part of that war they have blown up planes, trains & buses, they have blown up holidaymakers in Bali & commuters in London & Madrid, they have blown up soldiers and civilians all over the Middle East and Afghanistan, they have executed civilians in Somalia, the Middle East and elsewhere. When will the West realise that this is a war, a long war and that we need to act accordingly?

And if Radio 4's Carolyn Quinn is anything to go by (in her interview with security expert Philip Baum on yesterday's 'P.M.'), 'profiling' will be resisted every step of the way by our state broadcaster, the BBC.
