We were 5 minutes to departure and all pax on board when a big black limo pulled up and a well known European politician stepped out followed by two security officers. Station informed about three more pax and a new loadsheet. I went to the new pax and the security officers told me that they carried guns and showed me their identification. Dialog: "Sir I realise that you two are on duty but this is not according procedure I cannot accept you with guns on board" "Captain we know you close on time what can we do to solve that problem quick" "If you would be normal pax you would have to check in your weapons in the baggage compartement and get them back by security of destination airport, we could do so now" "Sound good to me, thank you" "thanks for cooperation"
The whole thing took a minute and we left on time. This is was I would call real professional attitude of a security officer.
