So we've had another airline announce that they may go down the plug-hole following the downturn since September 11. And every day (just about), we hear of the AMAZING lengths that security personnel are going to so that our skies are safe (see GI Joe disarmed , Drinkin Breast Milk, etc.). My question is, "To what level are the two related?"
Is the level of security assuring or alarming passangers? Do pax feel that being delayed by security is just a necessary part of flying now, or is it turning people off or worse, giving people the impression that security is a joke and scaring them away?
Most if not all agree that increased security levels are required, but to what level if it's paralysing the industry? How long before the airlines move together to pressure the security agencies to provide a more efficient service? Otherwise, the physical inability to process pax will stall growth or prevent passanger levels of days gone by.
