Insecure

I was astounded to learn Edinburgh Airport intends to include security scanning equipment in a public auction of surplus assets. While such equipment may no longer be in use there, what about the many airports throughout the world which do still use it? Potential terrorists will now be free to buy some to experiment with in order to devise ways to circumvent its effective operation. How irresponsible can you get?
