Will we be 'swamped'?

I have spent most of the day worrying about this story in The Scotsman:

HUMAN traffickers have opened up a new people-smuggling route into Scotland, with migrants entering the country illegally from the Faroe Islands.
Immigration officers have launched an operation to uncover the extent of the problem after the discovery in recent weeks of a number of illegal workers living in the North-east who had exploited common travel areas between Denmark, the Faroes and Shetland to reach the UK.
The Border and Immigration Agency (BIA) believes this could be the tip of the iceberg and is concerned gangmasters may be arranging for large numbers of migrants to travel from the Continent to Scotland via the Faroes, evading border checks and heavy immigration staff presence at busier ports.

I foresaw the Glasgow sky darkening with jumbo jets from Vagar Airport full of illegal immigrants. Lerwick Harbour would be crowded with vast continental ferries plying their trade from Torshavn.

But, as anyone who has ever been to the Faroes will tell you, it's not what you would describe as probable. And then I was reassured by the thought that it was just the usual nonsense from The Scotsman.
