Security failings at Dublin Airport

    After reading the following article, I wonder how secure Dublin Airport really is:-


    https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2018/0927/998359-dublin-airport/




    Anyone know how this could be permitted to happen?

    It wasn't.

    Be barged past security.
    "He was banging on the window to try and get the aircraft to wait and he then broke through a door and made his way onto the apron, trying to flag the aircraft down.

    I’m sure that if you read the article you’d see what happened

    “"They were engaging with Ryanair staff at the gate and the male passenger was becoming agitated.

    "He was banging on the window to try and get the aircraft to wait and he then broke through a door and made his way onto the apron, trying to flag the aircraft down.

    "He was was initially restrained by Ryanair staff on the apron and Airport Police, who had already been contacted, arrived on the scene almost immediately and arrested him.

    "He was taken to the Airport Police Station and will be handed over to the gardaí."

    Gardaí said they were called to the scene at 7am and arrested the man”

    I think you are overreacting tbh

    the guy did something stupid and was arrested within seconds

    I'd say it fairly secure


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 468 ✭✭w/s/p/c/


    It was ok............... he was a limo driver!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,351 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    A man in his 20s has been arrested for trying to flag down an aircraft after he missed his flight at Dublin Airport this morning.

    What the hell?
    An airport spokesperson said the man and a woman were late for a Ryanair flight to Amsterdam.

    Ahhh, now it makes sense.

    Tackled by security before he could get near the plane, went through the security checks and scanners to ensure that he wasn't carrying anything that could cause any harm. It sounds to me like security did it's job and did it well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,521 ✭✭✭Wheety


    Sounds like security succeeded.

    How do you suggest they could have stopped it from happening?

    Should all ground crew be issued with Tazers?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,667 ✭✭✭Hector Bellend


    I'm convinced that there is something in the human brain that causes it to stop working when people use airports and engage in air travel

    I think something similar happens when you get behind the steering wheel of a white van.

    the idea of ryanair staff with tazers is terrifying.

    This is the pilot Ryanair needed at that moment

    For a start I think you need to check the dictionary meaning of "permitted", he was certainly not permitted to do this.

    Secondly for me this is the first incident of this type in Dublin airport that I can every remember and the incident was dealt with very quickly by all accounts once he broke through the gate.

    When you consider that there is nearly 30 million travelers passing through this airport every year now with little to no security incidents I thing the airport security is doing a a great job.

    Unfortunately there will always be a security breech from time to time thanks to human nature but again as stated earlier in this case the security system worked as the person never got any where near the plane.

    In what manner do you think security "failed" here during this incident OP?

    not only that, but you will notice since airports around the world started offering free wheelchair assistance to everyone (the cost of providing same is added to your ticket in the airport fees) people have been losing the use of their legs upon reaching the airport. People literally get out of the car/taxi/bus etc WALK into the airport and suddenly their ability to put one foot in front of the other vanishes. it is surely one of the most inexplicable medical phenomena of our times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,546 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    Amsterdam is great. Hope the book gets thrown at this fella though

    ... and then watch them shoot out of the chair like a hare before the arrivals doors open in case their loved ones see them. It is getting dogged!!! They jumping security queues (plus their 5-6 family members) and jump boarding queues. And expect the poor airport worker to drag their luggage alongside the chair as well. Heard of a case where they wanted the airport worker to push them all the way to the remote car hire offices as well.

    He mooned photographers outside the courthouse. A fine upstanding citizen.

    Or maybe more people with disabilities travel now that are airports and airlines are making the required accommodations?

    No, there are people who use (abuse) the service because when in wheelchair assistance you get brought to the head of Immigration and most other queues at airports !

    Not working but off to Amsterdam? Dole should be cut off and 5 years hard labour.

    This is exactly what I was thinking when I heard it this morning.

    It's like people think they've been transported to a location where ordinary rules of behaviour don't apply any more.

    I expect said person was late to their flight because they were "enjoying" the novelty of an early bar.

    Naturally though, said individual has a history of violent and erratic behaviour as a result of chemicals in the brain;

    I wonder was he going to Amsterdam on "business", and panicked when he realised he wasn't going to make his "business meeting" on time?

    It’s great that these unemployed can afford holidays in Amsterdam, wouldn’t want them getting bored at home sitting on their holes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,717 ✭✭✭YFlyer


    You are correct OP. It could have been an ISIS attack.

    I was thinking maybe he checked on "luggage" ... and that was on the plane, so now he could have a bag full of drugs in the lost and found luggage area in Schipol!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,948 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Maybe he should have been filled with lead?

    One less scrounger.

    What would they have used in this attack, given what you're allowed to take through security to the gate?






    The arse hole in question looks a right charmer going by the reports from the court.

    He started his party a bit too early. (It's OK it happens to all guys sometime :) )

    A relief for those who would have been on the plane near him though, no doubt.

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Berserker


    Didn't get a ban from Dublin airport, which was requested by the Guards and the tax payer picked up the tabs for all the expenses incurred because he's unemployed. A great mornings entertainment for him. He'll head off to Amsterdam later today for his long weekend away.

    Sounds like a complete scumbag if truth be told. Was told he had missed his flight and then smashed his way through a door and tried to stop the plane. Thuggish behaviour and the people on the flight had a lucky escape.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Released on bail, charged only with damaging an emergancy exit door/panel, free to go back to the Airport, and moons outside court. He might get his weekend away after all. Gotta love the justice system at times.

    Are we sure he hadn't just came back from Amsterdam, and tried to get back on the plane to retrive his mind.

    It's Ryanair here. I doubt he has 2-300 to book another flight today

    He's on Social Welfare, he's more chance than the rest of us.

    I was wondering what the delay was this morning; this gob****e held up my plane from leaving.

    The OP must post all his threads from an airport so.

    So what youre saying is there's no way to stop an attack at any Airport in the world and Dublin isn't any less secure than anywhere else.

    Well it might not cause them in general to chase their plane down the runway but I couldn't agree more with you. Even watching some people trying to get through security. Jesus Christ it's painful. It'd be funny if you weren't stuck behind them querying why they can't bring the big can of lynx or litre sized tub of makeup through.

    There is likely to be more charges to follow (yes this can be done), also you cannot leave the country when you are on bail

    Judging from the media reports after his Court appearance this morning he seems a right scrote

    Unemployed but going on holiday. I can only assume he saved a decent wedge before he lost his job to afford junkets across Europe.

    nothing ever does, have you ever tried finding an orchestra to follow you round the house while you and the mrs anxiously shed your clothes and get upstairs?

    They all laughed at me when I tripped on my jocks and fell down the stairs

    :(
