The printing of boarding cards is hardly rocket science and no special measures are used, as in bank notes, to avoid them being forged. If you want security taken that far there are going to be even greater delays while the boarding card is put under an ultra violet light for example to highlight the security features on it. He wouldn't have got access to an aircraft or got very close to one, all he did was fool the security at the entrance to the departure lounge. As to the name on the one reported. Several members of Bin Laden immediate family live in London and use Heathrow regularly, the name would not have caused much if any concern. -- Dave Hedges LHR www.uk-air.net
