Good for the crew, bad for airport security!
With only 3 seconds to look inside each bag as it sails through the scanner, I would say checked with a small 'c'. This goes back to why I was saying on another thread that people (including airport and airline staff) don't understand why we have to do random searches of hand baggage, wallets and shoes etc. Basically we cannot win, people complain when we do our job well and again when we don't
Nobody cares about security anyway and to most people we are a pain in the rear end. God only knows why I still care about my job.
