It's always been a weak point. The problem is though that there will always be a point were un-scanned people have to queue up to be scanned. Of course you can insist hold luggage is sent on ahead, but you'll still have a queue for a scanner somewhere.

Phuket airport in Thailand has security at the entrance. Cases, hand luggage and all people go through security checks to enter the airport-including those who nip out for a cigarette. It is a pain in the ass-let's hope we don't adopt this in Europe although it is looking more likely to be introduced.

This news is just so depressing, utterly tragic and pointless loss of innocent life.

It's what these manic cretins want, to create maximum mayhem to disrupt our peaceful/busy way of life.

Grim and depressingly predictable. Sadly it's only going to get worse in the coming months and years.

Maybe it's time for security checks at all Mosque exit doors to inconvenience the religion of peace in the same way their fanatical followers want to disrupt the West?
Obviously not a serious suggestion but we cannot be held to ransom by religious fanatics whose sole purpose in life is to hate Western society. Islam needs to join the 21st Century other than for using its technology to co-ordinate the cowardly murdering of innocents.

I'm sure we will all be much safer in this country if we remain tied to an institution that allows for unlimited migration for people from war torn middle eastern countries, plans to allow 75m Muslims border free travel, and will soon expand the borders of "Europe" to Iraq and Iran.
What could go wrong?

That is exactly what they want. Your wife and child will be fine.

Don't worry we still have our 'stiff upper lips' etc...................................and insurance policies.
I don't want to belittle what has happened today, but the chances of being involved in something like this are still incredibly incredibly slim. Life does, and has to, go on.
