A funny yet sad story in the Daily Mail:

An immigration officer tried to rid himself of his wife by adding her name to a list of terrorist suspects.

He used his access to security databases to include his wife on a watch list of people banned from boarding flights into Britain because their presence in the country is ‘not conducive to the public good’.

As a result the woman was unable for three years to return from Pakistan after travelling to the county to visit family.

The tampering went undetected until the immigration officer was selected for promotion and his wife name was found on the suspects’ list during a vetting inquiry.

No one noticed for three years that the officer was married to a no-fly wife? No one noticed that a woman was on the list without any justifiable cause? So they started to promote him and then fired him, both for his talented work with the security database. In other words, he could arbitrarily enter someone into the list of terrorist suspects. His mistake was to enter someone into the list to whom he was married.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail also reports that a tiny souvenir soldier toy from a museum was successfully detained and disarmed by officers at Gatwick Airport.

His three-inch, plastic toy gun was branded a ‘firearm’ and banned from a transatlantic flight. […] They said rules were rules.
