How did those chaps get through security? Thinking what a massive gap in airside security this reveals,
Though speculation on my part, the area where I suspect this happened is beside a railway, which I suspect is not completely obstructed to public access (well,
was not...). Up the hill, and over the fence, and you're on the rather remote apron. As a passenger, years back, my departing AF flight went mechanical at the gate, so we were moved to a serviceable 777, which was parked on that remote apron. We were walked down onto the ramp at the north end of concourse M, and bused to that apron to board. I can imagine, particularly with a much less busy airport, that part of the airport not being as carefully watched - not that it's an excuse. That's an aviation offense. And, as said, if they used petroleum based paint, an environmental offense too!
