Gatwick lets no-ticket/no-passport 12-year-old onto a plane

To fool such a system, it takes a 12-year-old boy, as reported by newspaper FAZ (in German). He managed to get onboard a plane at Gatwick airport in London (at the origin city of the planned attacks) during the ongoing high-alert phase — without even possessing a passport of ticket!

I’m not too surprised really, we came back from Florida on Friday and we were made to dump all our liquids and gels from our hand luggage. One of our party had inadvertently left a bottle of perfume in her bag, she went through 3 bag screenings and they didn’t spot it, she found it herself when we landed!

Let’s face it, how much checking can you do?
