Why is it that a few says ago a 12 year old boy got on a plane to Portugal with no travel documents or boarding pass. I heard it twice on the news that morning then no more...Yet there is huge attention to suspicious tubes of toothpaste etc. Surely the child getting on the plane is hugely significant of security failure but it seems to have been brushed under the carpet...Whats that all about?

I guess in the eyes of the media the tubes of toothpaste would be more sensational. I see it differently, the story of the boy is more sensational. The media thinks they know better than us. More brainwashing!

I am sure that the media get their instructions, although most of the time they behave as though they are the government.
