At some stations engineering support is thin on the ground or non existent, the engineering staff night shift may well be at home n bad by the time you get to the aircraft. Also at some places there is no engineering support what so ever, at places like this I can't even manually check the fuel load !
I must admit that having a B1 engineering licence I am a bit more proactive than most pilots but the fact remains that the security system is blind to flight safety issues.
