One of the best security acts I have to deal with is the "Airside Security" at Brisbane Airport Australia,having just come from another country and passed through all that Airports security....now you need to board another international flight so off you go as a transit passanger...but wait there is another screening point before you proceed to the boarding lounge....hope you don't have any Duty free grog.....the Contracting Secuirty guards will reduce the weight of your carryon.....each day they collect a large haul of booze...the best haul was a flight out of Sydney for Port Moresby.....for some technical requirement Aircraft diverts to Brisbane....pax told to leave Aircraft and take all carryon off the Aircraft...As most pax had some form of liquid duty free....they were about to have it taken from them...what a haul I tell you there was some very unhappy pax.....but the christmas party this year will be a good one for those uniformed robbers.....or the Collector of Customs auction just got better...why would you need another security check Airside...and its staffed upwards of at least 4 people sometimes more.
