No one would have dreamed of screening this baggage handler for this job to try to determine whether or not he had jihadist sentiments. That would have been “Islamophobic.”
“UK airport terror fears as ISIS flag ‘found stitched inside baggage handler’s glove’,” by Tom Batchelor, Express, October 8, 2016:
EXCLUSIVE: A BAGGAGE handler at a British airport has been found with an ISIS flag stitched to the inside of their glove, in what is believed to be the first case of its kind in the UK.
The discovery raises the alarming prospect that staff at British airports could be operating as part of a jihadi sleeper cell.
A senior security source confirmed to Express.co.uk the discovery of the glove was “not the only case” and that other radicalised airport workers had been identified at more British airports.
The UK airport where the baggage handler worked has not been revealed but Britain’s biggest airport, Heathrow, has said it is not aware of any such incident at the west London hub.
Concerns about radicalised airport staff first came to light in France in the wake of the Paris attacks, when it emerged as many as 70 members of staff with airside clearance were stripped of their passes.
At Brussels airport, which was hit by a terror attack in March, security services said at least 50 ISIS supporters were working as baggage handlers, cleaners and catering staff.
Police at the Belgian airport said the workers were in possession of security badges and even had access to the cockpit of parked aircraft.
And in August this year 300 airport staff at Heathrow had their passes suspended in a major security crackdown.
Cleaners and caterers were caught up in the probe which employer Sodexo said was a precautionary measure and there were no known terrorist links.
It followed news that police were investigating a scam involving airside security passes at Heathrow….

The answer whenever there is a threat of ISLAMIC TERRORISM? Why…hire more Muslims or import more Muslims.
The answer to Islamic terrorism should be a MORATORIUM ON MORE MUSLIMS until we can stop the jihad.
Havoc says
That moratorium should last several thousand years.
Louis says
The jihad will never stop. Just don’t let them in.

URBAN DICTIONARY DEFINITION OF “CUCK”
Cuck = Another name for the great “Onision” leader of the cuckolds. In the cuck fashion, Onision is a liberal feminazi vegetarian, only he has millions of followers from all around the world. All bow before the cuck king, Onision, lots of the cuckold empire.
“There goes lord Onision again, being the biggest cuck in the history of cucks.”
Thank you kind warrior, cuckold of Onision!
Cuckalucka, cuckachoo, cuckaroo’d,

Or Luton. I flew into and out of Luton airport recently and was struck by how many of the security handlers were clearly Asian, which in Luton means Muslim. It crossed my mind that they have found another way of extracting jizya from us.
We’re doomed. No we’re not.

So who’s been to Heathrow recently? Once you’re off the aircraft you have to remind yourself that you’re supposed to be in the UK. And near Heathrow is Southall (the original location of the TV show ‘The Office’, strangely) where it’s best to keep your passport with you. So why the surprise when we discover that more than a few of these ‘good people’ aren’t really batting for our team?

And you’d THINK American airlines would have the same problem. All Western airports that hire Muslims will have this problem. Does anybody DO anything about it! Britain, France and Belgium but how about the USA? So I’m sticking to my anti-fly theme- one doesn’t fall 32thousand feet out of a Ford pickup!

Here is an idea, don’t announce that you found the Isis flag inside of the glove.
Then inspect all baggage handler’s clothing (including gloves) for Isis flags.
Just a thought.
ECAW says
Clearly we need to ban gloves.

Why “their” glove? Is it “his” glove, or “her” glove? And how was the image on the inside-out glove discovered? Are baggage handlers’ undergarments also checked for Islamic images? (Remember the panty-bomber.) How many airport personnel are wearing ISIS underpants?
ElderlyZionist says
Whuffo? Sewing a flag *inside* a glove is an act of alliegience? Musta been a little, tiny flag. What did he have sewn into his tighty whities?

“The discovery raises the alarming prospect that staff at British airports could be operating as part of a jihadi sleeper cell.”
And if the flag in the glove hadn’t been found?

So this one guy was stupid enough to be sorta-kinda-in-your-face about where his allegiance lies. What about those smarter than him?

2000 . Nine Afghans hijack a plane. After stopping in 3 other countries including Russia they eventually ended up in Stanstead , London where all nine were arrested. To cut a long story short they were given leave to remain in UK on ” human rights ” grounds. In 2008 one of those same hijackers was discovered working at Heathrow Airport . THAT is how safe and secure our airports are !!!. And meanwhile the rest of us are paddling about barefoot on dirty floors , being forced to bin expensive drinks , lotions , perfumes etc , being patted down and exposed via naked body scanners while convicted hijackers wander freely throughout the facilities. Absurdly farcical and wildly dangerous.

That would be **mohammedan** staff. No kidding.

Passes suspended? Not fired from their jobs?’
