Through Manchester security in 10 mins this morning despite my bag being taken off the conveyor for no particular reason I could ascertain. Inbound Shannon.

DUB appears to be slower, and worse, than most airports I’ve been to lately
Where was this chap with no passport or boarding pass off to anyway?

It’s literally the 2nd paragraph!
Abdul Ahmead (48) was fined €700 after boarding the Aer Lingus flight to Birmingham at Dublin Airport without a boarding pass or a passport.
Cheltenham I’d say
Signing on
I was taking an early morning flight this morning (I didn’t log the relevant celeb spots @Fagan_ODowd for fear of your wrath). As I sat in my seat near the front and attempted to dose off I hear a kerfuffle of women blabbering on about finding a passport outside on the tarmac. ‘Some poor unfortunate fucker is in for a surprise’ were my thoughts as I drifted off.
For some reason unknown to me I rested my hands in my pockets which I’d never normally do when trying to fall asleep and realised my passport was missing from my pocket. Everyone around me got a right laugh out of the panic on my face as I explained to the flight staff why I needed to find some random lad on the tarmac.
He saw me coming towards him with a panicked look on my face and handed it to me laughing and in a thick Dublin accent called me a ‘right fuckin eejit’. All I could do was laugh and reboard with my tail between my legs.
The irony being I had posted the article above about the lad getting on the plane without a passport and boarding pass about 10 mins before this happened. In short, DAA staff are sound and very reliable, and I’m a right fuckin eejit. Can’t stop thinking about what would have happened if I only noticed the passport missing after the plane took off

They must have tidied up the report of the incident? Seems from that his head was split oven rather than him being sliced into a million pieces.
@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy worked in an airport. Wow.
Tis like a vegan working in an abbatoir
It’s no wonder he’s fucked up. Tonnes and tonnes of C02 being given off by planes and he wheeling on the little brownies in plastic

I presume you were at some sort of a protest in the airport? A committed climate change activist like yourself would never consider actually work for the enemy?
