Do I assume that ICTC are responsible for security for American carriers? If so, then we know and appreciate - we might not like it - how paranoid these airlines are with regards to security.
Regretably we have to accept, in this day and age, that security will be tight. Just be glad that EGCC has had the foresight to provide good facilities for the enthusiast, where we can of course be monitored if required. Such a shame though that you can not always get photgraphic records of the aircraft that you have travelled on.
Long gone are those wonderful days when one could politely visit the Publicity Department at EGCC and ask for an airside pass, and be granted it. Gosh, that shows my age!!
