The story from the Daily Mail: “A top level security probe is under way after a 12-year-old boy walked on to a plane unchecked with no documents at the height of the terror scare. The boy boarded a plane at Gatwick on Monday despite airport security being on red-alert.”

My favorite quote from the story:
“Thank goodness he was a 12-year-old schoolboy and not a terrorist.”

What’s really scary is that as the school year kicks-off 12 year-old schoolboys are about to assemble in even greater numbers.  If one lone boy can foil airport security on high alert, think what all the boys in Mrs. Birt’s 6th grade class are capable of.
