Airports ‘vunerable’ to attack

[1]  The 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack was a
terrorist ramming attack which occurred on Saturday 30 June
2007, when a dark green Jeep Cherokee loaded with propane
canisters was driven into the glass doors of the Glasgow
[5] International Airport terminal and set ablaze. It was the first
terrorist attack to take place in Scotland. Security bollards
outside the entrance stopped the car from entering the
terminal, although the doors were damaged.
  Security consultant Chris Yates said many of the changes
[10] put in place at Glasgow had been copied at other UK airports.
But he said that although some “weak points” in airport had
been addressed, others remained.
  Since the attack, cars no longer drop off passengers
outside the main terminal building, which was fitted with
bomb-proof glass.
