Airport Security

I must agree to a certain extent with both the postings immediately prior to mine.
However yet again I would say that, any security at all be it at airports or the local bus stop, is only as good as the weakest link.
Therefore can someone explain to me exactly why Police Officers,
Customs Officers, members of the Immigration staff and airport senior executives ARE NOT subject to the same security and screening measures as the rest of the travelling passengers and aircrew etc. I would also like to know the reason why certain personnel have immunity from the security and screening procedures.
Fair enough we need security measures for personnel, but surely this must apply to ALL repeat ALL personnel, otherwise it's really a waste of time and a purely cosmetic exercise.
P.S. If my understanding of the position is wrong can someone in authority please advise me.
