This is affordable security, NOTHING to do with safety.
says Vag277.
Put another way, all the 'security' charade that takes place in the terminal is all for nought if the airlines flight, cabin , engineering and ground crew are not comprehensively trained, competently assessed and managed, current and are a cohesive crew.
Just because a passenger goes through 'security' does not in any way guarantee the flight will be conducted safely.
Security and Flight Safety are 2 different beings.
