THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Passengers are needlessly removing their shoes and having their laptops inspected due to pointless security checks at airports, the chairman of British Airways has claimed.
Martin Broughton criticised “redundant” airport checks and said Britain should stop “kowtowing” to American demands for increased security.

Mr Broughton added that there was no need to “kowtow to the Americans every time they wanted something done” to bolster security on flights bound for the United States.
In a speech he said: “America does not do internally a lot of the things they demand that we do. We shouldn’t stand for that. We should say, 'we’ll only do things which we consider to be essential and that you Americans also consider essential’.” Read on and comment >>> Peter Hutchison | Wednesday, October 27, 2010
It would simplify things if Muslims were drawn aside and strip-searched. Muslims are the ones that caused all this mayhem; so Muslims are the ones who should pay the price of inconvenience. The fact that we, in this politically correct and mad world, are incapable of stiffening our spines to profile is pathetic.
We need to identify the cause of our problems, and then act accordingly. And no, please don't should racist. This isn't racist, it's just plain, good old-fashioned common sense. In any case, Muslims are not a race. In race, they are diverse; but in objective, they are pretty much united and one: their objective is to Islamize the world. And that's where the problem starts. – © Mark
