Well in my opinion they are being a bit hard on the guy. PA38 it all very well to stick up for the security but have you considered {or did the security consider} that this may well be this guys career at stake. All because he was on the limit and as low as that limit is I find it hard to believe he would have been putting anyone's life at risk with that amount of alcohol in his blood. Sure the security has a job to do and I respect that but I just find it a bit petty to possibly ruining a career {and possibly his life} over this. I just think like ramc said the security is trying to prove a point. Sure russian crew generally do not have the greatest reputation with regard "bottle to throttle" limits, especially here in Africa, but still I find it all a bit ridiculous. If the guy had been obviously inebriated then sure through the book at him by all means.
