Once at Stansted when airside in the cargo area I walked 20 yards or so across a bit of grass near stand 6 as I walked back to the aircraft I was accosted by a security person who quite rudely insisted that I was searched because I had "gone outside the secure area"
There were no fences or notices to let you know that the other side of the bit of grass was insecure !
I can only think that it must be the fault of the BAA that this guy got on to the airport as like me he just walked across a bit of unmarked grass.
It is not surprizing that as aircrew we have a very poor regard for security , it is not the guys on the gates that need a kick up the **** but the muppets in management who make up all the stupid rules , I say sack a few of them from there over paid jobs and get the reprisentatives of the people who work at the airport around the table as it is only with the help and respect of the people who work on the ramp and in the terminals that we can expect to have security in depth.
