Mike, tell me about it. if I go out in PIXIE (ATC's airside vehicle), and drive eastbound from the 600 stands, past the Royal Suite along Sierra towards the helipad, I need to be checked.
However, if I drive eastbound from the 600 stands, and cross 27L at S5, go east along Alpha, cross 27L again at N4W, and go to the helipad, I don't get searched.
And just to clarify, this doesn't affect us ATCOs getting to and from work. It certainly affects the response times of the marshallers and leader Vehicles though.
