Security...what a joke!
Pointless security checks at EGAE (City of Derry).
A couple of days ago, after a flight from Derry to Dublin, aftert the pax disembarked, the cabin crew brought me an empty Guiness pint glass and can, which a passenger had obviously left behind, having boarded with it at LDY.
HOw on earth did they get through security with that I thought!
So, on returning to LDY, I took said pint glass to the security people and asked how the passenger got through with the potentially legal object. The security guy said they knew about the problem, but the bosses won't do anything about it. He told me they are instructed to confiscate nail files and such like, but once through security, the pax go to the departure lounge, where they are served food with metal knives and forks, and where the must have gotten the pint glass from. They are then free from any more security checks and board the aircraft fully armed!!!!
I can't beleive security staff know about this, but won't (or are unable) to do anything to improve it.
Comments please.
