Fire Brigade No Entry
This is a perfect case of where brains and logic are thrown out for a toss and just the letter of the law is followed.
In a serious communication gap on Tuesday, the Mumbai fire brigade was not allowed inside the Mumbai airport in an emergency because the fire department did not have airport entry passes.
However, the CISF that guards the airport say they didn’t have any information about the fire and hence didn’t let them in. [link]
Looks like common sense does not seem to be a job requisite for CSIF employment. Idiots can apply and have done so in the past !!
If I was a terrorist I would choose to disguise my bomb as a fire brigade truck.
Exactly, think before you call them dumb. Its not that uncommon for terrorists or other criminals to use such disguises/decoys to get by security. Guess.. if those security people had the common sense you rave about tommorow we might have terrorists doing the same. Thank God.. you deprived our CISF of common sense..
