The security guys have a fair bit on their plate.

They check the obvious:

1.Weapons
2.Explosives
3.Dangerous Goods (very large portfolio)
etc.

As pilots weve all done a DG IATA and CASA Approved course, and realise all the different items a security screener has to check, before letting someone through without inconviening them.
There really is not enough time, without getting people to check 2 hrs before departure, to check everything.

Now you want them to check if there Pi$$ed, well thats a bit much. I am not saying that they should be ignorant of it, but I suggest its hard to screen for pisspots unless the bring out the Breathilizer, and that would cause many more delays and angry pax.

My question is what about customer service at the gate, where were they ?Or are they ducking for cover.

Sheep
