In the firing line
Apart from cameras that should always be working, one of the key airport
security measures is to check for gunpowder residue on selected travellers. A
few days ago airport security guards stopped me for a check even though I had
not fired a gun for 40 years, but the Irish clay pigeon shooting team was
allowed to pass.
I had been talking to them a few
minutes before - noisy chaps in their 30s, in camouflage cargo pants, and you
could smell the gunpowder and the Guinness on them a mile away.
But of course they sailed
straight through unchallenged - that's the luck of the Irish.

James should be bloody
grateful that Dick Cheney wasn’t taking the flight.
