As usual there is more to the story than meets the eye.
It has been common for many and varied groundstaff to board an aircraft usually after the crew have departed and then pilfer whatever can be found.
It is arguable that food destined for the bin could be eaten but the pilfering has been costing the airline a great deal of money for years.
It should also be noted that facilities exist for all ground staff to eat during their breaks so quite why aeroplane breakfast should be so desirable is beyond me.
A line has to be drawn somewhere, the rules are crystal clear but when they are enforced everybody cries foul!
