You may believe you have a greater knowledge of what goes on behingd the scenes than the rest of us, and you may well do. But it is and has to be a joke when security staff spend 10 minutes carry out a "trace detection test" on a flight attendant walking with the rest of the crew, passengers allowed to proceed through unhindered. This is at a small port were the security people recognise most crew as we go through there at least once a week.
Arrive at aircraft to find catering people, unscreened sitting in a business class seat reading newspaper while waiting for delayed crew.
Engineers can and some would bring anything you liked to the aircraft for you, again unscreened as would baggage handlers.
So if you belive all is wonderful and we are not aware of whats going on explain how that makes any sense.
The qualifications for security people in Australia is the same qualification as the one rrequired to work as a bouncer at a night club.
It is a joke!
