[pp.int.general] privacy at customs on airports

[Nicolas Sahlqvist]

This is outrageous! How can a countries police force put there own citizens
unwillingly into harms way? I found more articles on the story:

http://breakingnews.iol.ie/news/ireland/probe-continues-into-slovak-explosives-incident-440883.html
http://www.examiner.ie/breakingnews/ireland/slovakia-apologises-for-explosives-find-440834.html
http://government.zdnet.com/?p=6728

The Slovak government has to do a lot more then apologise and express
"profound regret" over the incident. I am very interested in how this
unfolds why I CC'd the Slovak PP for any feedback they may have on this
story.
