I completely agree with you Danny !
Thereīs something fundamentally wrong with security when people start to whine about confiscating
needles , toothpicks, nailclippers etetera when at the same time it is politically incorrect to profile and single out suspicious passengers.
Nevertheless a chain is only as strong as itīs weakest link, and many airports have questionable security. For example, I know an airport in Europe where ground personel is
not searched and has unlimited access to the tarmac and the aircraft parked there. At this same airport all flight crew are searched with an enthousiasm as if we have "al qaida" written on our foreheads. Numerous reports have been filled, but the local authorities do not seem to care, nor can they understand the potential threat, or the lack of logic in their own procedures.
Scary that these people have governing authority !
