There are only 2 ways to get airside from Weat site .
The main vehicle acess point with the row of 4 barriers and the NEA terminal who have there own Security.There is no other direct access from the hangers without climbing a fence.If you do know of another way i think it is in your intrest to inform someone at the airport pronto.
"What I object to is being frisked by hand and then waved through. I have been tempted on many occasions to ask the security guy what set the detector off."
Most competent security officers can often tell what sets the AMD off after a frisk if nothing is actually found.We are constantly looking at what other metal you have on your person i.e watch, change, belt , jewellery and what type of footwear.Please in future do ask the ASO what set it off and let them explain to you what they think.
I'm sorry if i have insulted anyone but if people constantly had a go at the job you do , i'm sure you would flip once in a while.
