I had BAA security threaten to revoke my airside pass for questioning their procedures.
The security search in Stansted in particular were rude beyond belief during the period from early to late 2009. Then one Sunday night it was all smiles and customer service. What a huge change! Someone must have kicked arse.
The job can be difficult enough for all parties, but the flight crew should not be treated the same as the travelling public. With some airlines not providing food and drink for the flight deck, it is an outrage that I cannot take food and drink with me. Contact lens solution is another case in point. It is all stupid and disproportionate.
Properly check the staff and let them do their job.
