Perhaps I'm missing something here, but why is it necessary for a legal case to be made? Isn't there a much simple way to block the scheme?
If at the two airports in question, on the first day of operation with the new ID cards a majority of the staff accidentally mislaid their cards, the airports would be shut down with pax and TV crews besieging the gates.
It's unlikely that large numbers of staff could be dismissed over such a simple matter as forgetting a card, and in any case the operators couldn't bring in replacement staff because they wouldn't have the right ID.
Surely something like this might happen?
Edit: Not that I'm promoting any sort of conspiracy of course - that would be entirely wrong and quite unacceptable!
