Probably need a tin hat for this and please don't be lazy and fall into the trap of just calling me racist as its just a question, could/would racial profiling on searches be introduced, I'm not saying or trying to say all Muslims/brown folk are terrorists, but the fact is all IS terrorist are Muslims, I know legally it's on dodgy ground and I'm prepared for the onslaught from certain posters on here , but what are people's thoughts on it.

If it becomes more prolific they will adapt and simply send in people looking like you and me. I am sure they have a few fellas who with a clean shave and such would slip past on the spot visual racial profiling based searches.

What will happen is laws about buying tickets on your cc for anyone else. If you buy or supply a ticket to anyone but yourself and children under 16 then it is a criminal offense. They will demand full traceability and accountability for every single ticket sold.
All that stuff will get tighter i would imagine not that it is slack now really.
 
It's going to be a concern in the weeks and months ahead. I can see this sort of thing happening several more times but if there is any suspicion at all of terrorist activity then the authorities have got to do the right thing.

To satisfy politicians.

I'm not opposed to security at the airport or football FWIW, just think we as a society can overreact to single events in a way that damages our way of life. Politicians like to say "look what we're doing to make things safe for you". In reality I reckon if someone wants to blow up a plane I'm on they'll do it.

I agree.

We as a country are not part of the Schengen agreement allowing free passage without document checks, and we also live on an Island. The biggest threat to enabling entry by potential terrorists into the UK is via the chaos at Calais and the Tunnel. That will get a real dose of beefing up of security again I guess.

Erm what about these 'refugees'. First plane full has arrived in scotland. Apparantly expecting 20,000 by 2020. Probably go way over.
 
I would like to see security ramped up in the immediate aftermath, namely this weekend's fixtures and then take it from there. I'm sure this will be the case.
 
Mrs Ledge is near petrified about attending on Saturday which means I'll probably have to miss the game! If she refuses to go then there's no way I can take Mini Ledge all the way down from Edinburgh as she'd not be able to handle that either. Although I'm gutted I know I couldn't force her to go... just got to hope I can change her mind in the next couple of days.

Probably the safest place to be is there as security will be high
Tell her she must live her life,there is very little chance she will ever be blown up
