You are right NEAR MISS the people doing screening are on a huge power trip ; taking tweezers off people and letting them carry on 2 bottles of jim beam, i would sooner face tweezers than a broken bottle in a fight . the airport i work at i get screened in the morning to put the airbridge on the first flight departure for the day yet the engineer who sits on the flightdeck to start the apu gets on board via the airbridge side stairs unscreened,, strange move ah ..we have F A s who have had nail scissors taken from them only to be given to me by security put in a security item bag to give back to the F A and tell them to put somewhere safe on board (even more strange ah).also we get a lot of pax ex syd to nz that have items removed from them and are told it will be placed in the hold as a security item to collect on arrival never to be seen again (must be a good market for 2nd hand swiss army knives around syd)...
