Some years ago I did a charter into Mascot and while waiting for the pax return I had need to pay a penny. I was directed to a toilet that was just outside the security fence.
I asked how I was going to get back airside and advised to use the last code written on the back of the toilet door. There had to be something like 4 years worth of codes recorded on the back of that door, all but the current one neatly crossed out.
Admittedly, this was before the events of 11 September 2001.
Where I am now is a joke. Thousands have been spent on putting in new security cameras, lights, fences, keypad gates and electronic keyed gates. All that you need to do is walk through the terminal, none of the doors are locked, ever.
