How on earth can a training company such as this not account for dummy devices that are designed to look like bombs at the end of each session? And, if they had noticed one was missing, did they just think "**** it, it'll be right. We'll pick it up next week" ??? It was a pretend ****ing bomb for **** sake. Anyway, they'll be out of business in not too short a time so **** the incompetent fools.
Don't think it was spotted til about 30 mins before kick off. I don't disagree that someone needs to hang for this, both internally and from the security company.
It would seem that they realised the mistake at the moment they heard the first media reports, but even then they did not volunteer the information to GMP. It was only when GMP contacted them that they admitted the 'error'. How difficult can it be, count them out and then count them back in again.
The difficulty with your argument is that in a real-life threat where an IED is planted within the stadium, it will, in all probability, have been put there by someone entering the stadium as a fan, not in the days or hours beforehand. Pre-match sweeps are precautionary but the real threat comes in with the spectators and so continuous sweeps are undertaken after the gates have opened (and continue throughout the game) and it was during one such sweep that the 'device' was discovered. So well done staff.
Fair enough, but surely it is worrying a device is left unspotted for so long. When was the training exercise?
It is worrying, although with the rise in suicide bombings I think the general security process is to stop suspicious devices coming in rather than rely on finding them once they are inside. If you can establish effective procedures for searching and screening everyone who comes into the ground, that's more effective than searching a massive stadium for devices which may blow up before you can find them. Unfortunately, as with the bomb on the plane in Egypt recently, that system does fall down if the security perimeter is breached by someone with clearance to bring stuff in. And as you say it is a worry that something could stay in the stadium for days without being spotted - it wasn't particularly well concealed after all.
I still remember when Chelsea postponed the Man United game because they were out of form, what a ****ing joke that was
