Sweden now allowing US Homeland Security officers at Stockholm airport, permanently and with access to own weapons

In brief: Sweden is now allowing US Homeland Security to station officers at Stockholm airport on a permanent basis, and with access to their own weapons. The US "custom and security controls" in Swedish soil are supposed to stop suspected terrorists, which include "cyber-terrorists", and other individuals suspected of criminal-behaviour - who appear on lists which may also include whistle-blowers and their publicists, who may be considered to have "stolen information". The Department of Homeland Security declared in 2013 that "the unlawful disclosure of classified information by WikiLeaks in the summer of 2010 has rightfully renewed the Department's focus on risk management."

EDITOR'S NOTE: I've been to Sweeden several times and in my view this is a big deal! I wonder what they did to convince Sweeden to do this?!

MY GUESS: This is a pretext to be able to try and get Assange... Perhaps hoping he doesn't find out when he tries to go back to his family.
