Airport Security

Once while i was working at Cairns Airport, passenger screening i was standing behind the Xray unit supervising a co-worker when i noticed a unusual item in a back pack, i removed the pack from the conveyor belt and on closer inspection found a 9mm Glock!

The male who owned this pack had boarded at Brisbane for Darwin transiting in Cairns! he wass legal to own the weapon just not bring it into the Sterile area.....

No one stopped him at Brisbane, also some time later found a Shotgun oh and one Cat! yes a pussy LOl she didnt want to pay to have her loved cat placed into cargo.......................................

there is no easy answer for the problem if i did i would be Rich!!!
I found that lack of training and wages was a problem as even the staff dont take it seriously, Oh and if you are a religious person you can bring religious idols through airport security with out being xrayed!!! seems crazy but true.....................................

personally i think we should just handcuff every pax to their seat!! that would work!!! no more smoking in the loo or rooting for that matter LOL
