So you mean that a caterer doesn´t have to smuggle the poison through security?
How can a cleaner bring down an airliner without smugling anything through security?
I was meaning that food could be tampered with prior to arriving at the airport. Our cleaners and caterers enter in vehicles via the apron and get wanded for metals going onto the aircraft (US flights only) but still have access to their vehicles which are only searched on a very random basis so could be concealing anything!

NZ is not a high risk region and therefore does things differently than other countries. We don't screen some of our domestic flights at all (hence the recent hijack attempt and stabbing of pilots!) and none of our domestic flights are subject to LAGs restrictions.

Again, put nailclippers in hold luggage, they are not required for the duration of your flight.

What do you think of the sensible approach of screening pilots for real threats only, like bombs and guns?
I agree 100%!
