No one is complaining about the staff. No one is complaining about delays caused by good security practice.
What we are highlighting is poor security procedures that are forced on the security staff, and delays to passengers which will only further serve to drive them away from air travel for no discernable safety benefit .
It is reasonable to complain when your ETOPS plotting kit is taken off you time and time again at the x-ray machines.
'Sorry mate, you can't take a compass on to the aeroplane.'
'That's all right, I'll improvise with the crash axe....'
Duh.
It's not their fault... it's the management. If you would take a moment to re-read my post about my attempts to highlight a problem at GLA, you will see what I mean. Perhaps I should send the info to the Daily Record or the Sunday Mail and let their reporters have a crack at it. But.... then it will appear in the papers, and people will be even less inclined to travel so I'll have shot the entire aviation community in the foot by doing it. So... I can't do that, no one will listen....
Pop quiz.. what do you do ?
