Regarding security screening of crew
Due to an increasing amount of reports we receive from staff, we feel that it is necessary to inform you that it appears to be a subculture emerging among security personnel at several airports in Norway
We have several examples of undesirable incidents where crew feel that they are treated as suspects or is treated in an provocative or humiliating way by security personnel in front of passengers.
We do not want do go into details in this letter, but details can be provided if required.
We are concerned about the future, as we are experiencing the situation on several airports.
Such treatment of our employees undermines the respect required for a sound security system.
We ask Avinor to take this case seriously, because the security staffs conduct has a negative effect on flight safety when crew preparing for flights get provoked and distracted.
Sincerely
