"A former head of security at Heathrow Airport has told Sky News he expects investigators probing the Egypt plane crash will be examining whether a bomb was put on board by somone who had access to the jet on the runway.
Norman Shanks said that while it is possible security staff could have failed to detect a device as it passed through airport scanners, there were other ways of getting an explosive device inside the plane.
He said: "I would expect the team there to be looking at those other measures as well, like catering, like cargo, like access to the aircraft itself, access to the ramp where it is parked."
Mr Shanks' comments come after Sky News was told about lax security at Sharm el Sheikh airport, where the Russian jet departed on Saturday."
