I think that we all are responsible for security, or at least, thats what I am told... And most securitypersonel I have met and dealt with are polite, and gets the job done without much hasle.
But there are also those whose behavior is counterproductive, and leave you with a thought that they must have misunderstod something about their role in the big puzzle called an airport.
The companies who make a living at an airport ( airlines, handlingcompanies etc.) are just as much costumers to the securitypersonel, as the passengers. And we should be treated like costumers. Security are for our sake, so that we can feel safe - weather we are boarding a plane, or simply going to work in the airport.
we now have 3 weeks backgroundchecks before we can have an id-card, even if we have been working here for 5 years. So I guess that if the beeper doesnt go off on the second run, then maybe we are not carrying anything.
Whatever caused this incident, it only contributes to the feeling that security is a matter of "them against us", and thats no good to anyone.
spelling sucks, I know....
