Hello Max just a few months ago there was a terrorist attack on the Glasgow Airport. Scottish Police are not armed; there is a special unit who are called out if needed. In Heathrow airport the police there are armed with automatic weapons and walk in pairs. I believe the reason that the Glasgow Airport was the target and not Heathrow is because the Airport is geared more for the locals and tourists. When the terrorists hit the Airport they went through a big glass window and hit a pillar which stopped the vehicle they were driving. The police officer went to assist what he thought was a car accident. He was attacked by the Terrorists and a baggage handler realized what was happening to the Police Officer and went to his aid with some other person. The baggage handler is credited with saving hundreds of lives as everyone was waiting to go onto out going flights. Everyone would have been killed if not for the hero baggage handler. He has been interview and has always maintained he is no hero anyone would have gone to aid the Police officer and would have done the exact same thing that he did. I know these terrorists where not from Glasgow no idea where they came from but they were certainly trying to find a soft target.
Good to see you Max, take care Mary
