Security for flightcrews
One day, as we were going to operate a ferry flight, at a time when no scheduled flights were leaving from that airport, we found the security checkpoint umanned, except for one security guard who was not mandated to search us. When he saw two pilots show up, he kindly asked us to wait while he called on his intercom for screening personnel to come to the screening area to search us. As we waited on the side for them, a duty free employee walked up pushing a cart loaded with about 24 sealed cardboard boxes. The security guard pushed the door button and let the guy and his cart in, unsearched, while we waited. A few minutes later the screening people came, searched us kindly and waved us through. Some poeple have no idea what we go through.........
