More airport security 'won't stop terrorists'A former Customs officer has called on the Government to resist pressure to beef up airport security in the wake of the attempted plane bombing in the US.
"Physical screening after passing Customs is utterly futile, and only serves as the window dressing [and] public relations beloved of politicians and loathed by the public."
He says metal detectors that target ordinary people are "a bit like losing a watch in Melbourne and looking for it Sydney because the weather is better".
