#1 Could one of my British brethren please explain why BBC would do a mock terrorist battle next to a major airport w/people dressed as arabs?

#3 The BBC has gotten so bad that you have to wonder if they aren't testing security at the airport.

I know, I know, but the reporting from NPR and BBC really has gotten so bad that you can't help but wonder sometimes.

#4 Sweet Jesus. They're lucky the authorities didn't shoot first and ask questions later.

#5 âWe were told police permission is not normally needed but with security concerns as they are, we should have asked.â

Um, since when is police permission *NOT* needed when filming things with gunfire? They need to be notified so that when the neighbors complain about gunfire, they know what is going on...
