I'm afraid that those of us who see this 'security' on a daily basis may beg to differ. There are glaring deficiencies in UK aviation security which are reported by BALPA members but not acted upon. Instead the authorities prefer to concentrate on cosmetic measures, like making us take our shoes off before we go to work or revoking our airside passes if we incorrectly filed a VAT return 20 years ago. Meanwhile the lillywhite terror suspects continue to work airside at our airports.
