What I find unfortunate in these comments is this: when someone discovers a chink in the airport security system, we rely on that person to help us fix the problem.
If the journalist in question had genuinely taken those chinks seriously, he might not have waited three weeks before reporting the incident in the newspapers in a very sensationalist way. He could have come to see us well before that to tell us about the deficiencies that needed fixing. In fact, he did nothing for three weeks.
Is he serious? No. His job is to sell papers. Did he help improve airport security? Not at all.
