All flights grounded at Cologne, Germany over security breach
All flights have been grounded at Cologne airport over reports that a person has evaded security checks at the terminal. Terminal 1 at Cologne Bonn Airport has been cleared of passengers, according to local newspaper the Kölnische Rundschau, after a "suspicious person" entered a secure area through a door next to a supermarket. A police spokeswoman told the Germany news agency DPA all flights had been stopped until the security alert could be resolved. (www.independent.co.uk) Más...

From my experience security at Cologne is quite relaxed. Last time my wife and I went through there was arriving from Munich after a transatlantic flight, and by the time we had picked up our suitcases and arrived at the exit control there were no customs agents in place. We just walked out like at a bus stop, our suitcases never got checked as they were sent trough from Montreal to Cologne.
Germany's "open border" approach to unchecked "refugees"from the mid-East makes them a prime target, UK would be best advised to quit EU to prevent it happening there.
