Mother's Comments are Puzzling

Here is another one for the implementers of airline security to chew on (http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/08/16/uk.terror.boy/index.html): A twelve year old gets on an international flight without any documents. However, more worrying were the mother's comments. She said, "My worry is that if you have terrorists in these airports they could be looking round for someone who is vulnerable, and get them to take things on the planes for them." Really? Is that what she needs to be focusing on?
