I wonder which category the screening staff lay in
You have to screen everyone. As (was it B A Lert?) was saying, it really can't be that hard to get your hands on a QF uniform and an ASIC if you really wanted to. (to take advantage of a "No pilot screening" process.)
Yes there are gaps in security, but that doesn't mean we say "Stuff it, let's not bother with this screening business". After all we all lock our front doors despite the ease of a burglar smashing a window to break in.
I suspect in the next 10 years security screening will advance to make things easier to pax and crew alike. There is just too much money to be made if you come up with a product that speeds screening up. No doubt they'll come up with someone that result in no "off with the shoes mate" soon enough.
The people you need to blame for all this unfortunately killed themselves along with a whole lot of innocent people
