Here is another piece of complete nonsense;
We operate into one of the London airports and we are scheduled to operate outbound with "an interesting load".
As such, we have a very highly qualified loadmaster who deals with "interesting loads".
We have a bit of a wait before the "interesting load" arrives so we go to the crewroom for a coffee.
Load arrives, so we gird our loins and try to go through "crew security outbound". I have absolutely no problems, neither does my first officer.
However, Numpty decides that Loadmaster is not aircrew and will therefore have to go through the passenger terminal (some distance away) for passenger screening.
Nothing would persuade him otherwise.
So, the "interesting load" with huge security protection (men with guns) had to wait while my loadmaster was transported to the passenger terminal so that the Numptys there could establish that he was wearing nothing more than his shreddies underneath his flying suit whilst on the other side of the airfield, nothing could move until he got back from his totally useless venture.
That is my big problem with this monster that has been created "To Keep Us All Safe".
It is all a load of b*llox.
As an ex-RAF pilot of 18 years service and who has been vetted to the highest standard in the UK (and the USA), I find it grips my !!!!! to have to deal with idiots who would not even achieve the slightest level of PVR clearance if they were exposed to it before they got their job.
