Criminali stranieri lavorano negli aeroporti britannici

Avete presente gli aeroporti? Quei posti dove si deve arrivare due ore prima, mettersi in mutande di fronte a tutti, togliere cintura, bracciali e ogni oggetto metallico, ed eventualmente venire perquisiti con intorno cinque addetti che ti controllano ovunque? Ecco. In Gran Bretagna non ci si prende nemmeno la briga di informarsi sulla fedina penale dei dipendenti stranieri (extra-UE) che lavorano all'interno dell'aeroporto stesso, e che quindi hanno anche facile accesso alle varie aree off limits della struttura:

Despite warnings that terrorists would try to recruit people working “airside” in terminals – with direct access to aircraft and baggage – no attempt has been made to check whether foreign workers have committed any offences abroad. The vetting process checks only for crimes committed in Britain. Foreign workers – arriving from inside or outside the European Union – are not checked in their country of origin. This means that someone with a conviction for firearms or explosives offences committed abroad could, for example, take a job loading bags on to aircraft at Heathrow, Gatwick or any other airport, provided they had committed no crimes here. The security lapse was called “absolutely astonishing” by David Davis, the shadow home secretary, who demanded “full and immediate checks”.
