Police strated carrying guns at airports in the late
eighties in response to a terrorist bloodbath shootout
in Athens and interception of an IRA cell
with similar intentions. Whilst their presence and
equipment are often perceived as OTT they do a valuable job.
They regularly facilitate the movement of guns with
travellers through the Airport which generally saves you
from getting a thorough baggage search when you arrive
back - they are only concerned about the guns which helps
you with your real problem of all the other stuff you
bought abroad in excess of your duty free limit. This
is worth every penny of their salary.
Next, they disarm sky marshalls airside, so those
untrustworthy characters from ELAL ans SwissAir aren't
trolling around Blighty tooled up, they do get
them back when they leave though.
Finally they keep a thriving trade going in the latest
'Gucci' equipment designed to do a completely different
job. They support an important market for black ballistic
nylon, substandard unwearable body armour and ballistically
neutered ammo. As a result they have little to no money to
spend on good holsters and weapon retention training -
because it will never happen to them, of course.
