United Kingdom - A 50-year-old woman over reacted to the request of a protection guard at Manchester Airport. Once the guard at an airport security scanner asked her to remove her clothing before passing through, started to str*ip, only stopping when she had removed her bra.
Yesterday Lady Kelly Hadfield-Hyde, 50, appeared in court charged with causing a disturbance at the airport. Nevertheless the outraged woman said she was only following a orders of the security guard.
Hadfield-Hyde and Ann Chadwick, 48, have been due to catch a journey to Malaga plus a friend who was simply travelling with a new child. In the footage of them going through security, Hadfield-Hyde and Chadwick appeared to exchange conversation with airport security staff as they took off their coats and belts and placed them on trays.
A minute roughly passes before both suddenly begin removing their clothes, stripping down their bras before Hadfield-Hyde removes hers. Hadfield-Hyde told the court that security guard Abdullah Mayet had indicated that she should take off all her clothes before passing through the scanner. She said: "He was pointing at me saying,'Off '. I told him, "Do you mean just my jacket?," but he was saying,'Off, off, all off '."
The court heard that when more airport security staff arrived in an endeavor to defuse the situation both women became abusive and swore at them.
Other staff were called to the scene, and after a couple of minutes the ladies were finally persuaded to put their clothes back on.
Both women were later arrested and faced with the general public order offence of causing a disturbance. Hadfield-Hyde denied she was drunk. She accused Mr Mayet, who has worked at the airport for five years, of getting a poor command of English.
But Mr Mayet said his instructions have been clear and he had never asked the ladies to stri*p completely.
She was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay for £500 costs and a £15 victim surcharge. Magistrates found mother-of-two Hadfield-Hyde guilty and she was handed a £55 fine, ordered to pay for a £20 victim surcharge and £850 costs.
Speaking afterwards, Hadfield-Hyde said: "Okay. I took my fill up and it had been somewhat over the top. But I did so nothing wrong I recently did what I was told."
