"Everyone had to get off the plane and one of the Somalians, a guy wearing a red T-shirt, was arrested by the police," Dermeborg later told London's Evening Standard. "They handcuffed him and took him away. We were told by the airport staff he was trying to get a gun on the plane."

... The stunning discovery was made as the gunman passed through a final security checkpoint after other members of the Muslim group had already boarded the plane. The handgun was detected by a security scanner.

It's not clear in the article, but, does it appear as, though the scanner picked out the gun, this guy still made it onto the plane?

Caught in the nick of time by a proven method of detecting terrorists----profiling.

When will the U.S. wake up and do it the right way?

I don't think the guy with the gun made it on the plane. Think after he was stopped, they profiled the ones who were already on the plane. At least thats what i hope happened. Hard to tell from the article.
