BA Chairman Blasts Airport Security

British Airways Chairman Sir Martin Broughton has called for reforms in airport security, speaking at the Department of Transport and Logistics in London yesterday Mr Broughton questioned how a pilot had to undergo the same screening process as a Yemeni student.

He went on to say the one size fits all policy was a waste of resources and profile management should be in effect where passengers are judged on their appearance and mannerisms. Also know as profiling some passengers find this tactic absurd but Sir Martin said concerns were misplaced and missed the point of the exercise.
