Wheelchair user Josh Gardner tests the strength of airport security by going undercover with secret cameras. He took a return flight from Leeds-Bradford Airport to Malaga in his wheelchair. Despite the precautions brought in since 9/11, he discovered that it was surprisingly easy to take prohibited items on to a plane. Josh said that the security team did not examine his chair thoroughly enough, in common with other airports he has travelled to across Europe. On both the outward and return journey, he was able to smuggle a bottle of water and a wheelchair tool kit through the airport without detection. Leeds Bradford Airport said that it complies with, and exceeds, all the relevant requirements for security. It also told Inside Out that the wheelchair was swabbed for explosives and that the wheelchair repair kit was a permitted item. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-34487309I wonder how he got to the airport because First Buses don't go to there any more

Plenty of buses still serve Leeds Bradford, with the 757 being rather more frequent than when First ran it.

I wonder how he got to the airport because First Buses don't go to there any more ? ? ? Plenty of wheelchair users can drive. There are regular buses to the airport from a range of destinations. Many taxi firms have wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Most wheelchair users have friends who can give them a lift. I'm not sure what your point is...
