I tend to agree ****su.
Ayers Rock and Brisbane International are two security check points that stand out, in my own experiences.
A little bit of power in the hands of some of these idiots off the street, is damaging and interuptive. Many are often suspect in there own security clearances ie. Sydney is a perfect case in point, although Max M-W will not admit.
Many of the Terminal checks on Aircrew are rediculous, given all the Security checks and clearances we go through to issue/renew our Airside Pass. Logic has gone out the window!
They should be concentrating more on who and what's going on, on the Tarmacs!
Happy Landings
