I am a police officer and when at the airport, I was searched by some three quid an hour security boff and when I say searched I mean, he put his hand all over me.... So, I do know how it feels and I dont like it but I also understand... better to be safe than sorry.
Dunno about your place, but in germany police officers do carry a gun and do have to go through screening to go airside...now tell me, why do I search for weapons if a guy has one at his belt OPENLY? What else would he carry? A nail clipper?
Its about time to get into a normal mode...at my homebase, we drive through a gate, then you are searched if you go to the right (socalled security area). Now the firebrigade is to the left, they are not searched. If they would have a job in the security area, they and their vehicles must be searched.
WHAT HAPPENED TO COMMON SENSE ?
Security, what a bitter joke...
