I have witnessed over the last year or so a very relaxed and playful team of so called security officers at the screening point at a major domestic port. These people still think that they are enough to stop people doing this kind of thing. I have personally witnessed on a number of occasions when the right person could easily walk around the machine with no one watching. These officers are so busy talking, joking and not paying attention to the very serious nature of their job. To put it simple, anyone could get a job at the screening point, be them un-educated and careless. In their defense their shifts need to be shorter to keep in line with their attention span.
