security Ideas

Have been discussing this elsewhere and would like to add a comment
that i feel this would probably be more of use at very large fields like
EGLL EGGW EGKKWhere there is a fair Mixture of aircraft operations
but at the GA field i cannot see the use of such other than Illegal
imports of drugs weapons \people keeping an eye open for those
.As for Fields like Farnborough the Airfield ops are more concerned I
feel with Clients privacy from Paperatzi Lens I may be wrong but
security from prying eyes comes first And moving Spotters closer
to the terminal would not appeal to them . Yes you can tell a
spotter from a press reporter well i could not be certain could you
there not going to waste time and money checking thats for sure
The local Police Here are not to bad we get the odd one or
two that like to be silly but in the main they stop and its the
usual check under the So called Act give you bit of paper
saying So and off they go if your decent enough no foul mouth
many will stand and chat look at pictures and things so it
isnt all bad .
