QF Tech +Cabin Crew High Level Background Security Checks
Qantas Crews are subjected to high level security checks by the AFPolice in order to obtain ASIC clearance
They also require US Visas and are therefore subjected to further scrutiny and ten printed.
A gnit on a gnats nuts couldnt sneak past this level of attention.
Why are crews subjected to further screening before going to work?
To provide theatre for Joe Public his missus and the kids.
Some bureaucrat has determined that by screening crews it somehow validates the screening of Joe and his family.
How many Qantas crew have ever been suspected of terrorism?
None
How many Qantas crew have attempted to hijack an aircraft?
None
How many Qantas aircraft have been threatened by a crew member wielding a can of tuna?
None.
All this commentary regarding mass,volume and weight is total nonsense .
It has somehow been assigned importance by several individuals with a Readers Digest subscription.
Stupidity and navel gazing once again rear their ugly heads on PPrune.
Rather than maligning the author of this thread all crew members should rally and end this bloody insanity.
The people employed to do the screening are subjected to less scrutiny than the people they screen.
Even to the most salacious miscreant this must be seen to be absurd.
Tuna being prohibited on an aircraft.What bollocks.
There are already objects on an aircraft that can be used as weapons.
Why the hell arent they removed?.
