What? No. Wait. What?

After a weekend of slow news, made silly by the outrageously four-star idiocy that has fallen out of the mouths of some of our politicians, this story pulled me up.

A female passenger travelling, on BA, from Israel’s Ben Gurion airport to London’s Heathrow airport, has been thrown off the flight for…. having a dog in her cabin luggage.

I hope the airline passed the cost of the flight losing its take-off slot back to the woman concerned?

But the more I think about it the more I ask myself questions like:

• ‘What has happened to the famed and draconian Israeli airside security checks?’, and
• ‘What happened to the check-in procedures?’

Well, I suppose she could have fooled the check-in staff.

But fooled security?

Fooled Israeli security?

Really?
