He was a passenger so no reason why security would have been involved till he was on the plane?

""Aer Lingus can confirm that a passenger scheduled to travel on EI283 flight from London City to Dublin airport was removed from the flight due to disruptive behaviour on board."

"He manages to deliver a short protest statement on the flight: "I'm extremely sorry to disturb everybody here. We have two generations of human civilisation left if we carry on doing what we're doing." "

True Pat and there were also loads of activists inside the terminal, but there were a lot of police as well. I just wondered how somebody could get on the aircraft. When we fly our boarding passes are checked time and again. Not sure if it would be any different to Dublin though?

To have security you have to pay people to be employed to do the job. Airports don't employ enough, neither do customs.

The police are overwhelmed because they have had to reduce numbers and who wants to bet the overstretched forces will be in action soon.

Cost cutting shouldn't put the country at risk but that happened years ago. :-\

so now an activist has managed to get on board a flight to Dublin and marched up and down the plane haranguing passengers. How on earth did he get on board? what sort of security is that?
