Jobsmiths

The security jobsmiths working at Gatwick Airport spotted a model soldier holding a three-inch resin gun with no moving parts which they decided was a ‘firearm’.

Purchased by Julie Lloyd from the Royal Signals Museum in Blandford, Dorset, as a present for her husband in Canada, security staff allowed her to take the soldier home in her hand luggage but wouldn’t permit her to take the toy gun which she posted home from the airport in a padded envelope.

With jobsmiths like this working on our behalf at airports, should we be sleeping safely?
