British officials have announced plans to restructure their border agencies recently after controversy has risen over the fact that they may have not been following through on security checks at ports and airports.
Home Secretary Theresa May wants to completely recreate a system that has been known to, in the past, "suspend important checks without permission," waste money on unused technology, and send inaccurate and incorrect information to the government.
May will also split the border force from the U.K. Border Agency to "give it a whole new management culture." Brodie Clark, head of the former agency, was fired earlier this year and is now filing a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal.
