jofm5, why are the checks demeaning? they are the same for everyone holding an airside pass, it is part of the job.
Well you'd think so wouldn't you, but at Brissy just a few months ago builders got contraband through and security where then dealt with. Catering is another issue where entire truckloads are not checked and people handling these materials then have access to the aircraft. Security and the government wonder why Tech and Cabin crew laugh when their nail clippers are taken from their nav bag and thrown in the bin?!
