Has any other airport had to suffer under new DfT security regulations for airside driving?
Here at Heathrow, if I go out driving on the maneuvering area and drive through certain areas, I need to drive up to a security point and submit myself to a security search, just as I do when I go airside at the start of my shift.
What's even more ridiculous; some of these security checkpoints are 'one way' only, and some of the areas they seem to be 'protecting' can be accessed by another taxiway which does not have a security check requirement. Even tugs and their crews have to stop and submit to search. Oh, apart from tugs which are towing and aircraft behind them, then they don't have to stop.
