I was in Auckland one day when a aviation security guard bypassed the metal detector and xray machine with his bag. On questioning him, and his superior I found out that the aviation security staff were not required to be screened as they were in a secure area, and pilots and passengers were suppose to be in a sterile area, or some rubbish like that After reports, and kicking up a fuss I got the ruling changed. How long does it take to train as a security person....... ANyway thats where my hate of security personnel comes from. The only time they have a little bit of power is when they are at work.
Ha I even had a captain who had bullets in his flight bag. Should have seen the look on the xray persons face. so he returned to the locker room and placed the bullets in his pigeon hole. GSR also cause the explosive detector to show positive.
