That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

I know the feeling - I travelled ot Stansted the day after the September 11th attack on the US - things were mental.
Eventually, however, I realised that there was a real change in the way things were, partiuclarly from an Irish perspective - We aren't the bad guys anymore. IRA bombings had eased off significantly by then, and the Irish are not seen as being scrounging ingrates (thanks Daily Mail). In fact, we were the de rigeur accessory item for many at the time.
It is dreadful to say it, but it is true.

I left the airport at 2 a.m. (5.5 hours after landing ), minus my case, with thousands of people bedding down on the floor.
The ironic thing was that there were literally hundreds, possibly thousands of abandoned cases all over the Luggage Hall........all this due to ONE UNATTENDED PACKAGE!![]()
Is it just me or is there an obscene amount of people being arrested in connection on the flimsiest of evidence??
Has "Any Paddy will do" been replaced by "Any Paki will do" ??
yes 8, incuding the two at Glasgow airport, 5 others in the UK and 1 in Oz.

Or perhaps Bertie Ahern, in order to divert attention from his personal finances.
As long as there are enough delusional conspiracy theorists, making excuses for extremists, terrorism will continue to thrive.
Ironically, it's the freedom afforded to you by a democratic western society, that allows you to show such contempt for the security forces who protect you.
