Aircraft Security
Gentlemen,
The main threat for non aerobridge aircraft is the cleaners. They are unscreened bring containers onboard, fiddle at seat backs etc then LEAVE THE AIRCRAFT.
They have the ability to place a gun or bomb onboard well hidden at a pre arranged seat.
Pilots and FOs on the other hand can crash the aircraft without a bomb or gun and are onboard at share the PAXs fate.
I know which one I would give priority to screening, this has been raised with DOTRS they advised we did not have the power as the airport owner to enforce the screenig even though they enter the airports SRA unscreened.
This foolish farce will be exposed and I hope rectified.
