TREVOR Phillips, head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, objects to airport security staff concentrating on Muslims and other groups. So what are these staff supposed to do? Strip search old ladies with grey rinses?
Mr Phillips (plus the European Union) also objects to full-body scanning. Well, if terrorists hide explosives in their underpants, which they have done, then the underpants of suspects need to be searched, don’t they?
My message to any readers who have relatives killed or injured in aircraft terrorist incidents is: blame the politically correct and the “human rights” time-wasters.
Ralph Musgrave, Durham.
