[citation][nom]djackson_dba[/nom]This would do more to support my argument than yours. If there were clearly no reason to investigate there would clearly be no public pressure (on your side of the pond) to investigate and thus no reason for the police to feel the need to investigate.[/citation]
Yep. They said it's a joke & didn't interrogate him. As you might know, these are open information. Especially such closed files with no importance.
Think what would happen if a journalist saw this file closed without anybody interrogated. The cops would have found themselves jobless as the journalists would use this as a great opportunity to increase their "rating"
Or during a routine internal investigation, how would this show up in the hands of the opposition in parliament? How a great opportunity to hit the ruling party. How irresponsible they are etc. etc.
Political Correctness is the hit of these days.
Be a politically correct person and you are the best. Take some initiative and try to show some intelligence, then you are automatically "against security/society/etc. etc." fill with whatever you want.
Instead of creating more regulations on the security, if the security personelle would have been chosen among 120+ IQ & good education on psychology, and paid accordingly of course, there won't be any incidents. Of course, this would have been more expensive than having min. wage security personelle who took a 6 week training and no other qualification with minimum wage plan. And all those public security committees which don't have any on field experience put such regulations that would cause people miss their flights even if they come to airport 3 hours earlier than the flight.
And of course, these regulations don't take into account the volume of people travelling in any particular airport, how the airport is laid out, what kind of bottlenecks it would cause & how to resolve the bottlenecks.
What happens next, well, for a couple of weeks people suffer, many fligts are delayed, many people miss flights and silently without any word from anyone, the "security measures" are relaxed to the point of "sanity", until the next attempt to blow a plane, though.
And funnier thing is, I don't recall a plane blown since except for the Russian domestic liner in the 21st century. Is this because of the security measures taken or, is it because the terrorists don't need to blow the airplanes to terrorize people anymore?
My 2 cents.
