You're kind of right lowerlobe, but the fact is this ain't the case. Every day numerous (ground) staff cross from groundside to airside several times by simply swiping a card. No ASIC check, no x-ray, no patdown, nothing. So until a truely professional/consistent/reliable & equitable system is in place, that covers
all staff, (not just what the punters see), they will continue to attract responses like these.
And another thing...
Let me get this right. Someone tested positive for nasty stuff and he walked away, then they, (our ever-professional security staff), tried to cover-up their stuff-up? OH, well done those men!!
I used to
think these people were otherwise unemployable, now........
