NIBOR cheers for your responce.....
Aviation security, although technology has advanced a great deal, at the end of the day it is people that make the final decision as to wether an item, package or person(s) should be allowed on an aircraft. If the investment is not made in the people making these decisions, it does not matter how much money is spent on equipment to prevent potential security breaches.
Recent investment on scanners at LEEDS has not been matched by PEOPLE investment. I expect, given the mentality of managers at Manchester, the same applies there.
I suspect it will take an act of terrorisum, or a government act to improve the prospect of improved PEOPLE investment and subsequent SECURITY improvements. I guess its down to money again, but the question is MONEY or LIVES? I hope something is done as soon as possible before it is proved to be too late.
Forgot to mension, LEEDS' bosses sacked their security manager....... probably ultimately to save money, more than anything. MONEY MONEY MONEY.
