... and what about staff gate security rules that keep changing by the day - or sometimes (like yesterday) during the course of one day? How about getting ONE set of clear, unambiguous rules as opposed to constantly moving goalposts?
And while we're at it, how come all airside staff have to provide 5 years of employment security references, plus a Criminal Record Check from Disclosure Scotland (at their expense
), but get treated exactly the same way as PAX when it comes to going through security?
Why prevent Flight Crew from taking their own drinks onboard, or Cabin Crew from taking
lip gloss (yes!) or
hand cream 
(technically not liquids, and necessary when one knows how dry it gets after ten hours in an aircraft cabin), but I can take yogurt through?
We all accept the need for tight(er) security, but how come it always looks like these rules are designed and implemented by people that have absolutely no knowledge of, or track record in, the aviation industry?
Rant over (for the time being)!
