How Often does this happen?
- Thread starter cashman
- Start date
It was also on the news that Check In & Boarding do not have wanted lists. So even if they had made him lift his veil, they wouldn't know that he was wanted by the police.
As for the guy who fled to Somalia (where he feared for his life) I hope he fears for his life until the day he is killed!!!!!
Surely, this whole incident illustrates a few different points.
1) Why are people allowed to go through airport security with their faces covered by veils?
2) Why are asylum seekers who commit crimes in this country not returned to their country of origin as a matter of course, whatever the danger? I heard some government lacky on TV last night say that we didn't do this because we are "a civilised country". Well, as far as I'm concerned a civilised country protects its citizens of whatever race, creed or colour.
3) How genuine was this asylum application anyway, as this individual seemed to have no qualms about returning to his so-called "dangerous" country?
4) Finally, Mr C has raised a point which I've been harping on about in the law and order threads for some time. How come political party members like Graham Jones and Gayle who are usually so voluble, strangely fall silent when we are talking about subjects like this? Why don't we hear from the mighty Greg Pope himself on the subject? Is it because they know that if they tried to defend their party's policy, they would find themselves at odds with most ordinary folk? And fair play to Cyfr, at least he had the bottle to come on here and state his views, although I suspect that they are not in line with Conservative party policy.
And before any of our more PC-minded members accuse me of being a racist, I'm married to a non-white immigrant!

last time i flew i even had to take my baseball cap off so why should u be allowed to wear a veil
they should be banned
they probably didnt get stopped because of the growing risk to anyone who questions them of them screaming racial harrasment and yet another one takes our government to court

with you all the way there cashy
cheers jedi but i,m deadly serious.
I see where your coming from lolly but if they made someone/everyone lift thier viel and behind it they discover a man then that should be enough to raise suspision wthout needing wanted lists.....
GET RID OF THE VIEL COMPLETELY ......
What i say is have more women customs officers and so if someone does go through wearing a veil then the women customs officers would then ask them to step into a separate room and ask them to unveil themselves so they can then check their passports. If they refuse even then to unveil themselves then they dont fly or sail or whatever. That way then they are checked. By the way have cctv in the room and a male customs officer standing outside and instead of letting them go back out the way they came in there would be another door leading onto the concourse so they cant then go back into the normal side and so swap identities with a bloke. In otherwords what they used to do when i was flying to ireland. Theyve already got the stuff they need to do it with - just may have to move it from a different terminal.
By the wynonie - i will admit it - i am a branch secretary of the Labour Party and i havent been quiet have i?

As far as I understand this hasn't been proved to be the case, it may have happened, it may not.
What is shocking is the fact that could have happened.
Passport photographs are now being rejected if you smile, yet you can swan through passport, immigration and all security points wearing a veil.
Something is badly wrong.
It's almost laughable if it wasn't so serious a threat to national security.

hasnt that always been the case (no smiling)???
Im sorry but in this country it has become one rule for us and another for those who persist on INTIMIDATING our government..
Most officials are too affraid to ask simple Qs like "please would you lift your veil" in fear of condemnation...

According to this report it would be unlikely to have happened because women 'can' be asked to lift their veils!

What utter rubbish. Everyone should face the same security checks, regardless of religion. My friend had a bottle of gin confiscated this week, after asking if it was okay to purchase it after an interconnecting flight at Heathrow. The reason given being 'security'
I think I see a new career opening up. After buying a fetching black outfit and matching veil, I shall then be strapping guns and heroin about my person, and away I go unaccosted.
