Lost security

Jul 8 2008

JUST back from holiday. After another delay we arrive in England, up and down the cattle grids hundreds of us walk.

Someone in the line-up says 'Look, a hologram'. The great British bobby, not safe on the streets of Britain for him. Everyone laughs. Back against the wall, rifle in arms. Doom and gloom face. After all, we are not holidaymakers. We all have the suntanned terrorist face, don't we?

Then face to face with customs officers all standing on their pedestals. After all, security is paramount, isn't it?

So where is our 20 year old grandson's luggage lost when we were going to Palma Airport? For seven days he had no clothes. We have been home a week and still they cannot find the luggage. How safe are we? One piece of luggage lost is a failure of security.
