Hmmm, maybe a change in the offing......??
Not before time. Today at BHD 3 Cabin crew arrived late at aircraft traumatised by the experience of passing through security. Handbags upended then swabbed for explosive traces, contents examined in minute detail with even a calculator dissembled to check for who knows what. Uniformed crew with valid ID's but not from BHD so having to go through central search in front of some of their passengers and treated as if they were a credible threat to operations.
Why do aircrew keep getting singled out for special attention, are they a real risk or the soft option for " random searches " ?
