I just wish I knew what the new security procedures are trying to achieve….
Passengers are screened
Passenger bags don’t have to be screened unless international
Operating Crew are screened
Baggage handlers, cleaners, caterers and airline employees don’t have to be screened.
So what is to stop someone placing a bomb in the baggage area or a gun in a seat pocket to be collected by an accompanist?
Are they assuming that the crew is the major concern?
All operating crew have been thoroughly checked out before issuing an ASIC identification card.
There is one important check this is not done and that is to check the photo on the ID against the person who is displaying it…..
