Aviation security is actually pretty good!

After boarding the Spirit of Tasmania (note: this is a ship) around half an hour ago, I was subject to a "level 1" security scan as I left the vehicle area. I removed all my coins, wallet and phone from my pockets and was scanned with a magic wand. To have the scan done I had to hold my arms out away from my sides. To do this I had to put my bag on the ground that theoretically could have contained my AK47, mini14, 4 semi auto pistols and home made bombs. I then asked why my bag wasn't scanned to which he replied "this is only a level one scan on ones person" Tell what the istrye point of a level one scan and how does it enhance maritime security?

What a joke !!! (not to mention a waste of time and money)
