A couple of things -
I've been wondering why I even have an ASIC if no one's going to check it during screening or only glance at it airside while they fine me $500 for wearing it inappropriately.
Couldn't I just be sent a letter to say I qualify for an ASIC and save a few $$ by going without the little plastic thingy. The card doesn't seem to do much for me at most Australian airports and can get me fined if I wear it upside down or on my belt.
No matter how appropriately presented aircrew are when encountering the screening droids in Australia, it seems no one passes by their equipment more easily that the guy dressed in a federal coppers uniform and casually sporting a shooter on his belt. Even airline check-in staff frequently popping a few metres back and forth between desks have to run this silly gauntlet, yet the guy with the mace, handcuffs and sidearm just nods as he passes by and continues his slow stroll.
