Clueless, bizdev. How do we get access to the ramp with our "bomb"? Do you know? (ID swipe with personal code) How do we board an aircraft with airline crew who do not recognize us? Believe me, you'll give yourself away in no time. Even without wearing headdress. And what does photo id signify? You cannot just acquire a copy that will pass the swipe machine of security. clueless.
The fact is that UK/US/Canada/Aus/NZ/Euro security checks on flight crew are far more onerous and unpleasant than those given to passengers. And so far, it is "passengers" who commit the atrocities, or attempt to. The pressure felt by crew is not easy to explain. But this is not a pilots' website, so perhaps we are wasting our time, as we cannot communicate here.
Al Qeuda and their miserable spin-offs have so far won in the aviation environment, as evidenced by the fear they instill in passengers and the anger they generate in working crew. And the enormity of the impotent security machine created in fear, the machine which any intelligent crew member could outwit at all times. No details needed.
And as for security in the Middle East, (Excl Israel), Caribbean, Central and South America, Africa, and much of the Far East, you would laugh. It is so cursory, and yet the terrorists could hit flights there with distant targets. Clueless.
