Come on people, Girtbar took the time to set this up and with over 150,000 members in Pprune plus just look at how many people have viewed the 2 threads and yet we haven't reached the 200 signatures mark yet!
We are all fed up with the show they call security and this just might have an effect if enough of us take the 30 seconds or so to sign.
Mods is there any chance of making this a "sticky", even better if it could be stuck to all the appropriate forum's?
GET SIGNING!

Happy to sign up in principle but could someone not have proof-read it first? If you´re going to write to the PM at least make sure spelling and grammar are correct. If not, the reader will be more inclined to treat it less seriously than it deserves. 
Ready to get shot down.

Signed, and agree with Blueplume - it would have carried a bit more weight with correct grammar and a little more reasoning.
However, totally agree with the sentiment, and doing something as Girtbar did is always better than doing nothing!

Airport Security Petition
This may help with the ongoing lunacy that is our airport security.

Please take a look and send it to as many airline staff as you can

I signed in honour of those lovely people in Birmingham Security who the day before yesterday forced me to check in my overnight bag in front of some bewildered passengers (-I explained as much as I could in the time available).
It would have been better without the spelling mistakes - but what the hell, please sign it.

Can i just say this has taken me by surprise! I've been waiting for the petition to be approved for days checking emails everyday at work. I only just received an e-mail today saying that it had gone live so to have signatures already is fantastic!
Secondly i would like to apologize for the spelling and grammar mistakes. The wrong petition was submitted and now that it has been approved there is (im led to believe) no way to adjust the spelling or grammar. That said I have sent an email in the hope the team will correct the spelling so fingers crossed. I must admit it does take the seriousness and edge out of it a little. But how long have we moaned about this subject? With no one taking the responsibilty to take 20mins to create a similar petition you've ended up having butterfingers here type one instead!!
I really hope this takes off and we start putting the pressure on to get things changed!
Cheers,
Dan

Gritbar,
Good on you for setting it up. Please, please, please do press them to allow you to edit the descriprtion though as if worded correctly and well supported with signatures it may help to change the current state of affairs! I have sent an email link to everyone in my airline for this petition, if everyone else here takes just 5mins out of our busy lives to do the same it should be a good turnout.
Cheers everyone...........
