    Police in North-East England have recruited plane spotters in Durham Tees Valley Airport to keep an eye out for potential criminals and terrorists.
    The plane spotters would be the ''eyes and ears'' for uniformed police and airport Security.

    They tried that during the last war, but it didn't stop ant-aircraft gun crews from trying to shoot down friendly aeroplanes!

    They actually managed to down a few of their own aircraft during that period!

    Radar doesn't spot the ethnicity of the occupants boarding the aircraft!

    I don't get it. Do criminals and terrorists look like planes?
