One of the cabin crew I was with today had an unopened tin of Baked Beans taken off her this morning whilst going through security. I was waiting in the queue for security and I was getting annoyed at just watching what was happening. What is more pathetic is that the security screener apparently said 'well my beans were taken off me at work so I can't let you through with yours'!!! Grow up!!!
Now I wonder if all the crew meals were searched in detail when they were brought onto the airfield? Since the tin foil on my cooked breakfast was intact then the answer is obviously no! Why do they trust a carton of milk in a catering lorry that may be loaded by someone who works in a facility in a landside location who does not need to be security screened yet we can't take food when we have got a airside pass? Logical isn't it? - not!
