Security Checks - how good are they?
I have to seriously question the real value of scanning in-cabin baggage in the light of my recent experience. A recent clean out of my much travelled back pack turned out a small box-cutter. It has passed through scans at Australian airports and Singapore several times as well as a few European airports without detection, yet it's quite a lethal bit of kit and could do quite some harm if used maliciously.
Are the checks "for show", or has the industry become more complacent?
