I find it very hard to accept that many of the security measures put in place at airports since the 11t Sept, or even Pan Am 103, are necessary or effective.
The current regime requires, unquestioning acceptance, of the most rediculous procedures. The end result is, or will be, that those of us who work on or around aircraft become fed up with the whole security issue & do our best to get around it.
I am not a pilot, but the the onboard security procedures at the airline who employs me are not far short of crazy.
Events today in Kenya show that inconveniencing everybody at airports, in the name of security, is no guarantee of safety. Thank goodness the terrorists in question were incompetent.
