You've GOT to be kidding.....
Professional airline and airport workers are now treated with suspicion and contempt. They are not permitted to take water to work. Not permitted to take a normal tube of toothpaste airside. Food is confiscated daily. Belts off, hats off, shoes off, epaulettes off. These workers are humiliated daily and treated as the potential enemy. Yet THESE frontline people are the ones who should be encouraged and brought onside to be the eyes and ears. And it isn't happening. People are angry and alienated. Most are downtrodden, heads down, stay down. Few speak up and question a security anomalies anymore - they just end up being threatened with their job for bucking the system and not setting a good example!
So what do "the authorities" want to do now? Get complete outsiders, "spotters", to be the eyes and ears? To be the "home army"?
Humiliate the Captain, recruit the amateur. Does anyone see something very very sick with the system here?
