    Big assumption! Equally likely to be the unexpected by-product of a drunken quickie following a night of alco-pop fuelled passion outside Enniscorthy's seediest night club.

    Well think about it, he was already past security. He was at the gate in the terminal where the plane had just been docked. If you think about any airport you have ever been in (even in the USA) there are usually 2 members of staff at the gates who are checking passports, neither of them are dedicated security staff, they work for the airline. I don't think many of us here would have any issues in pushing past 2 people if we really wanted to. Plus depending what terminal it was, some of the gates don't actually have doors and the ones that do only have sliding doors which aren't that hard to open.
    Dublin airport in my opinion is quite reasonably secure, and in some cases more advanced security wise than a lot of other airports I have been in.

    Apparently there's a "break glass in case of emergency" thing in them.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    I think you are assigning far too much finesse (as well as an ability to read) to this lad, I'm guessing, based on the charge being for breaking the magnetic lock, that he just bulled his way through the door. The ones with the maglock fitted to the top corner of the door aren't that hard to break open as the door flexes enough to break the lock when it's hit hard enough.

    They would normally only be sliding doors, which wouldn't be difficult to pull open. Also the old Terminal in Dublin Airport in some areas wouldn't have a door, it would just be a low barrier/gate.

    No he was charged with breaking a magnetic lock - these are fitted to the glass and aluminium swinging doors in Dublin airport.

    Lad can afford flights to Amsterdam but judge grants him free legal aid.

    Dublin Airport request he be banned from the airport but the judge turns that down because his right to cause mayhem must not be reduced.

    Gets bail on condition of good behaviour, commits indecent exposure OUTSIDE the courthouse and still the judge let's him walk free.

    Another triumph for the Justice Industry. I'll bet they saw this guy coming and they all knew their repayments on the 182 BMWs were already in the bag for October.

    Another example of what's known in the legal trade as "a sure earner"
    We'll be paying his legal aid, on top of his dole, for the rest of his days.

    From the indo...

    Mr Kehoe dropped his trousers and mooned press photographers shortly after he left the Criminal Courts of Justice.

    He was also "throwing shapes and made hand gestures at the assembled snappers."


    “Throwing shapes” Ahahahahahaha ������

    Will Ryanair ban him I wonder?
    Surely he caused a danger to their staff and other passengers?

    They probably can't fully lock the doors for fire safety. You can't have unopenable doors in an emergency/evacuation situation. So either yer man pressed the "break glass" panel or just kicked through the handle.

    I don't think it's a security failing though. He was already screened for weapons etc when he went through the scanners and he was stopped by security guards before he got near any planes. Sounds like the security measures did what they should do in that scenario.

    You can have locked doors if they are not escape doors, or if they automatically unlock (as the magnetic ones in Dublin airport do) in the event of a fire alarm.

    Ah fair enough. If you put enough force on on a mag lock it will just open. Only so much force it can withstand. All depends on the specification of it.
    They probably didn't design that side of the airport for this kind of stuff. I would say around security it is very different. I would hope so anyway.

    It was probably the breakglass for the magnetic door release, they have to allow people escape if there is a fire etc.

    Ehh AFAIK according to regulations they are not meant to fly with unaccompanied baggage unless it has been segregated and gone through separate security checks as being unaccompanied.

    This was part of the upgraded security post Pan Am 103 that was brought down over Lockerbie.

    FFS what a joke.

    It reminds me of the judge in Galway that refused to deny bail to gerard barry who whilst on bail raped and murdered a young Swiss girl that was visiting this country.

    Judges are often deluded individuals working against the best interests of society.

    BTW sometimes there are advantages to the US system as this guy would have been removed from the gene pool a minute after he stepped out airside.
    And thus saved the taxpayers a fortune.

    Your average airport queue is enough to test the patience of Padre Pio!

    20 minutes queuing up and ONLY THEN realise the f**k me boots and the three laptops have to come out, the toiletries (half of which are too big) are in a purple bag and that the jacket, belt and watch have to come off.

    And that was just last Saturday!!!!!!

    Read the OPs Article, then read the Article I quoted with 'Wrong Person'.

    Same name, yes, age, no. This has also been addressed on the Aviation Forum, and removed.

    Edit.

    Noticed my quoted post, is a 5 year old article.

    Move on, nothing to see.
