kamui Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Airport thefts should not exist, but they do. Find out who is doing the stealing and blackmail them to do bad shit. Outsiders, i. e. international terrorist won't be able to do so. Could you envision Pakistani sneaking around the airport and its secure areas? Also you can't blackmail someone with an open secret. And how would you expose them? An article in Pakistani newspapers? A different matter would be local terrorism. But there are much easier targets for attacks and the local terrorists don't seem to be very sophisticated. A complex operation like an attack on an airplane is _currently_ most probably above their abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 [...Never said the take over was a terrorist attack. What I said was when an airport's security can be compromised so easily, what prevents real terrorist from using this weakness to get to go to other countries so as to do their thing?... Please explain how a caravan of unarmed people, escorted by the police to the airport, who in the interest of non-confrontation, were allowed to camp out on the front access road and the external lobby area in any way compromised the security setup that prevents "real terrorist from … get to go to other countries so as to do their thing"? I’m sorry, I just don’t see the connection… It just seems like you are making illogical conclusions in order to support your agenda. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complex operation like an attack on an airplane is _currently_ most probably above their abilities. Remember that one nut case who was living in Ayuthaya back in August of 2003? Riduan Isamudin who went by the name of Hambali ring a bell? He currently resides at Guantanamo Bay. He got on the shit list when he became a suspect in the 2002 Bali bombing in which 202 people died. He then got on the big shit list when he really wanted to take down jets that were coming and going from Bangkok. Now, if another nut like this one should show up on the scene, would it not be to his advantage to find out who is stealing from the airport? And once he finds out who was stealing, I don't think he would have to do much persuasion to have the person put something in somebody's suitcase. All I am saying is the airports should be safe and secured, nothing more. Anything less is a serious security problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo_bill Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Please explain how a caravan of unarmed people, escorted by the police to the airport, who in the interest of non-confrontation, were allowed to camp out on the front access road and the external lobby area in any way ..... They were in fact a group from the National Siamese Young Girls Education camp in Kanchanaburi on a weekend break . hence the police escort . The intention was to arrange a gettogether with the locals , sing beautiful songs and exercise fruit carving . In the end they were so many that unfortunately access to airport was blocked for a week . Kind of Thai Woodstock , they all had flowers in their hair I think .

Gadfly Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 What I said was when an airport's security can be compromised so easily, what prevents real terrorist from using this weakness to get to go to other countries so as to do their thing? Agree 100%. This was the point I was making. You not only got the point, but also re-stated the it better than I could. It seems as though most other posters here got the point as well. It's a pretty basic point. But TH, well, he doesn't want to get it. His strained efforts at misdirection are actually interesting. But why go to such lengths to refute something so basic and obvious?

Gadfly Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 OK, that explains TH's strategy, but I still don't understand why he is going to all the bother when the basic point is pretty obvious. Even on distracting details (look at his linked site), he has demonstrably misrepresented the facts? It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Most stores in airports have security tags on the expensive items so when they are stolen, an alarm is sounded. King Power doesn't seem to provide this security on their products. If something disappears, it is assumed it was stolen by a customer. But in the retail field, the number one thiefs are employees, customers are number two. If an employee does the stealing, their first inclination will be to say it was a customer who did the stealing. To be able to prove it was a customer who did the stealing, they might produce evidence that would substantiate the crime. A tape without a date and time stamp would fit the bill. As for the tape, I still say it looks like some frames are missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
