I see that the Scottish Government has had to admit that people flying into the country from abroad have never been able to be traced to ensure that they are abiding by the 14-day quarantine rules. According to Jeanne Freeman, it is because that they have never been given Home Office security clearance to access passenger details. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! Ask the passenger a few questions - it really is that easy. As usual, it is somebody else's fault, usually the UK Government.

1. Is she trying to tell us that none of the high-powered, high-salaried staff in the airport/immigration services in Scotland couldn't design and print a simple form to collate passenger details when they enter the country?
2. What chance does the test and protect system have when this simple task is beyond the authorities?
3. A restaurant will soon have to ask for customers' details when they go for a meal. Will the restaurant have to obtain Home Office clearance first?
4. If it is really the fault of the Home Office, why has the Scottish Government not been shouting from the rooftops for the past 4 weeks that Home Office clearance has not been given?

I'm afraid to say that this is another example of the SNP Government's "shambolic" approach to certain aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
