Luton have to be among the worst. There's no continuity at all. I've been hauled up airside in uniform with I.D to be told by some spotty failed policeman that my I.D is not valid as it hasn't got LTN (LUTON) on it. Our company (orange) have a standard I.D good for all our bases and issued at Luton. they got extra security to escort me landside in front of pax. I argued the toss and after 30 mins they decided the I.D was ok. This is security not recognising the airports major operator's I.D. Each day it's off with shoes and belts. I went through the other day on a day off in jeans (with belt) trainers t-shirt, high viz and I.D to meet the other half flying in. You guessed it, not a blink of an eyelid. No shoes off, no belt off, no questions about what I'm doing/going. I just walked staight through with no problems. Remember, you're number one suspect if crew in uniform. It's DFT window dressing implimented by w***kers with small c**k/small person/under achievers complex. They're applying to people whose job it is to be "in control" of an aircraft restrictions designed to stop punters gaining control of an aircraft. I've told them I can go stark naked to the plane and still crash it by pushing, or I can go unarmed without my water and yoghurt and still pick up the big axe next to me. Bless them, they just can't grasp the idea. Keep up the good work. I respect and take you seriously.
