Hi MD, Some of the front end will not change but it goes wider than that. I did not mention in the thread the research we have done into passenger attitudes.
Passengers are more positive about security generally than crew and staff and there are a large number of factors that cause this.
The step back needs to come in the prescriptive nature of the regulator. As said, i do not expect to see screening going but by passing more of the decision process to the industry, we should see improvements as you have said. That is the step back that is needed. The outcomes of safe and secure flight will remain the same but the delivery will change and hopefully for the better.
