Where a lot of this security all falls down is at the gates Airside, one Airport I know has cut the times the access gate is manned and also the time it takes to get a simple vehicle delivering etc through to the maintainance area, so now it can take a hour plus, even if escorted on off and at all times,
The net result of all this enhanced security has had the opposite effect as more and more companies simply add a freight door to the rear of their buildings to allow vehicles to enter....... Ok in theory, but there is nothing then to stop them possibly getting to the airside part of the maintainance area and no checks at all bar those of the companies, so from one secure entrance that didn't require the wife of the second cousin of the drivers name and her great great grandmothers 1st cousins date of birth, to one that became so restrictive requiring the above, that the single secure access point was / has been circumvented, destroying the reasoning behind it in the first place.
And they just don't see it, which makes it even worse
