some weeks after.

it?Well, that's what they claimed,

letter your department sent

950

seemingly dated December 19th,

two days before Flight 103 came down.

952
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,240

Your department's advice
to security staff

957
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,000
is that if they're suspicious
about anything contained

958
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:00,320
is that if they're suspicious
about anything contained

959
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,400
within a piece of luggage,
they should place it in the hold.

960
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,800
Which is exactly where the bomb
on Flight 103 went off.

Dr Swire, if I-

962
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:08,000
So that even if they think
something is potentially dangerous,

963
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,800
So that even if they think
something is potentially dangerous,

964
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,080
they're still to allow it
onto the plane.

965
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,160

00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:16,000
This advice was given on the basis

967
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,560
This advice was given on the basis

968
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:22,040
that most terror attacks
on commercial airliners

969
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,000
are hijackings.

970
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:24,160
are hijackings.

971
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,120
Our reasoning for advising

972
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,560
that luggage containing anything
suspicious was put in the hold

973
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,000
was to separate a potential hijacker
from his weapon,

974
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,760
was to separate a potential hijacker
from his weapon,

975

and thus alleviate their ability
to hijack a plane.

you had legitimate concerns.

00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,800
Why else include a picture
of the radio-cassette recorder?

980

after the plane came down.

986

get photocopies made in time.
