Interestingly I found in this in the Daily Mail - I suppose that is not surprising.

She has all the calmness of a professional model used to appearing in public in such a fashion. :dunno:

Publicity stunt? Who knows, but I wonder what her condition is causing her to use that wheelcahair. Of course, that could have been part of the gimmick. There have been some absurd occurences under the new rules here. Searching three year olds (since stopped) and 80 year old grandmothers may be a waste of time - except I suppose sooner of later some terrorists will hide something on and 80 year old.

Well, she does have a decent pair of Bristols which I am sure is why the Daily Mail latched onto the story. I have not seen any mention on the national media here so far.

This is my thoughts when someone say "Do I look like a terrorist"..what does one look like??

it's like saying crew shouldn't be searched, so terrorist only need wear a uniform then!! :dunno:

I would say there's a religious aspect - clearly she's had some uplifting experiences in her five decades. :wasntme:

So she doesn't know why she gets patted down?
After a few pints I wouldn't say no.
