Airport security is child’s play

What does it take to create a major airport security breach, mass evacuation and waste potentially 2 hrs of 15,000 people’s time?

Answer: A kid plus a switch and a security gate.

It’s being investigated but it seems like a little kid switched off a security scanner letting 16 people get through without being scanned.

End result: Traffic jam, frustration and sad faces :(

It just seems a little weird/simple for a switch and a kid to be able to cause such havoc.

At least it gave me an excuse plus the time to write a blog post, even if it’s got nothing to do with digital or marketing or anything, although I have been traveling weekly for the last few months, so it’s kinda an insight into my life (of exciting airports :[ )

FUNNY: Armstrong & Miller – WWII Sketch

Completely off topic, however, hilarious, Amstrong & Miller reenact the life of two WWII RAF pilots, with attitude. Each one is under 2 mins and worth your lunch break. They’ve produced a range of similarly witty clips – check out related videos on YouTube.

My favourite quote from the first episode is “That’s so unfair, that’s like massively disrespecting your trousers.” Got a fav?
