Just got back to EG** from LE** after an early morning flight. Whilst standing like a row of nice little ducks with our shoes off, waiting patiently for somebody to pat us down, I saw a member of non-uniformed security staff come past the "Ping" machine (what is it called?) and set off the pinger. He then carried on and went over to his desk without being checked by any other members of staff.
Kinda defeats the object of having security staff if they openly flout the rules. I noticed that he made zero attempt to take his shoes off!
I imagine the Scrimshaw will be writing another episode of his story in the next BALPA "Log"
PS The bagage loaders have a drinks dispenser airside.
