ok, can someone explain to me why when two days ago I was transiting through Heathrow airport on my way back to the States from a trip to Germany all the security personnel I encountered between termals 2 and 3 with one exception were non-native born Brits, the machine-gun carrying police all seemed native born but the guys operating the scaning machines and doing the "pat-downs' all had accents ,maybe I was being a tad over-sensitive but in this day and age I wonder about all the stuff the British and US Govts are putting out and if they are really serious about the Islamic threat to "our" way of life .....not that any politican would be seen dead on a commercial flight...pardon the pun
