Special Agents let in -- Spotters thrown out
In a
bizarre encounter at Shannon airport, two of the war monitors at Shannon today
came face to face with a group of US military personnel in the arrivals hall at
Shannon airport. The monitors were in the public area, watching the three
Hercules C-130s at the airport, and did not expect to see uniformed military
personnel in the public part of the terminal. One monitor asked a simple
question and both were ordered out of the terminal, at the behest of an
anonymous special agent. Two inspectors, two Garda and several security
personnel made sure we left the premises. They were very determined to get us
out, and the whole thing raises a lot of questions. Today is Halloween so maybe
they were just trick or treating? Strange and scary stuff…
