Security checks create targets for terrorists

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6916739.stm

Aside from "stating the bl**ding obvious" why haven't the terrorists made such an attack?

Realistically, I don't know how much power/influence Commons Select Committees have, but they do seem to have picked up on many of the major gripes. From the list towards the end of the article:

Quote:

The committee made a series of other recommendations, including:

* Airlines should always advertise additional fees, taxes and charges up front

* There should be a government review of telephone charges for ticket bookings

* Airport operator BAA should cease to be run as a monopoly

* There should be a review of airport car parking charges

* More robust systems are needed to stop the loss and mishandling of baggage.
