Hard for me to understand why the non flight crew types here get in a flap about our opinions about security in our industry, including TSA types, maybe because as crewmembers traveling around the world, we see the many inconsistancies throughout the system. For instance I was recently based in ATL, I would swipe my ID in the card reader and if the light turned green I would then be able to walk through the turnstyle, the TSA would be sitting on the far side of the turnstyle to check that the picture matchs my face, no xray, no metal detector and no bomb sniffing, simply a valid ID.
This is the security at one of worlds busiest airport, now in the city I live, I am scrutinized like the mad shoe bomber, while ramp staff that got a job two weeks ago bypass security altogether, this my friends is why I feel airport security is window dressing for the public, what a farce
