This b*ll!!!!! of having to go through the same security as pax is demeaning for a crew
Why is it demeaning that passengers can see you going through a security check? Are you worried about them seeing you go in to the restroom too?
What is embarrassing with current state of security is that it is little more than a show for the well behaved passengers. Anyone with intent to create harm will have little more trouble than a few years ago.
I believe that anyone asked to step through the metal detectors three times find it frustrating. If you then know a little bit about the full picture doesn’t help but in no way does that excuse anyone from refusing to go through again and just leave.
If the pilot did as was alleged in the beginning of this thread then he is not fit for his position. Nor are the persons who allow someone to walk away and don’t apprehend her in the next few moments. That he was allowed not only to enter the plane but also had time to taxi out is a sad confirmation of the current state.
