Guess who the new employee is at London's main airport? (via Dhimmi Watch.) An Afghan hijacker who forced an airliner to fly to Britain is now working at Heathrow, it has been disclosed.
Nazamuddin Mohammidy, 34, was one of a gang of nine that threatened to blow up an internal flight in Afghanistan, along with 173 passengers and crew, unless they were granted political asylum.

Dhimmitude and stupidity working hand in hand, in merry old England, where an airplane hijacker can get a job working in an airport. But if you point out a muslim using the quran to justify terrorism, you are inciting racial hatred and causing unrest in the community. Stupid Brits.

London Heathrow airport's latest building, Terminal 5, launched last month after almost two decades of planning, $8.5 billion dollars in cost, and 100 million hours in manpower. It is a glass and concrete and steel marvel, the largest free standing building in the UK, with over 10 miles in suitcase moving belts, and was supposed to be a cure for the Airport's famous congestion by way of massive automation. But on its opening day it just did not work right. This week, British Airways' plans to move its long haul operations from the crowded main terminal to the new terminal were pushed back til June. Much of the press was quick to say that tech was the source of the failings in parking, luggage handling and check in, but here are the details I can find on what exactly caused endless lines an
Check this futuristic pod cars to be used soon at the Heathrow airport. They will be used to transport people between terminals. The pod cars are all electric and will travel on a network of 2.2 miles (3.5 km) and go about 20 mph.
The Swedish city of Saguna is thinking of laying out an 82 km network using these pod cars.

Permission has recently been granted by the local government to give the Heathrow Airport in London, England a £1.5 billion “green” make-over.
Plans include introducing making the building more energy efficient and introducing more recycled and renewable materials, transportation and energies to the terminals.
“I’m very pleased we’ve been able to agree a plan that puts energy efficiency and renewables at the heart of plans for a new Heathrow terminal, and that we’ve secured a commitment to address the energy demand of the airport as a whole,” Londonmayor Ken Livingstone said.
“The challenges associated with climate change will define how our city develops in the coming decades and, as the gateway between our city and the world, it is right that Heathrow airport leads the way in meeting those challenges.”
Phase one of the project — and the completion of the newest terminal, Heathrow East, is expected to be done by the 2012 Ol
Pity the poor U.K. motorist. On top of new "gas guzzler" showroom taxes, higher sky-high taxes on gas and diesel, 17.5 percent VAT on everything car-related (soon to include car insurance), increased CO2-based London congestion charging, the introduction of CO2-based parking space taxes and the ongoing prospect of road pricing (and all the other taxes), Heathrow Airport is considering imposing a £20 "drop off" fee for passengers arriving by car. Oh, and a £3 congestion charge for trucks using roads around the airport-- including the M4. According to The Evening Standard, The British Airports Authority's (BAA) new taxes charges would raise £137m a year, which they'd use to pay for the costs of administering the scheme. Just kidding (kind of). BAA would
