Czech police detain journalist testing airport security

Czech police detained a journalist on Friday who tried to test airport security at a regional airport. A police spokesman criticised the move under the current circumstances, referring to the foiled terrorist attempt to bomb airplanes leaving London's Heathrow airport. It has not been decided whether the journalist, from a local Czech newspaper, will face criminal charges. In testing security measures the journalist climbed over a fence and strayed into off-limit areas of the airport.
