If your business has anything to do with security and you were not at the just concluded Transport Security Expo 2011 you are not likely going to forgive yourself after you have read this editorial. Hang on a minute! And not to worry, the expanded programme being planned by the organisers for the 2012 edition offers yet another golden opportunity, or should we say ‘apple opportunity’? if so love apple.

KIND ATTENTION: UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY SUMMIT

8. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows...12.  Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death...13.  And ye shall be hated of all men... (Mark 13: 5-13).
