Slingsby,
Whilst I agree that the journalist has acted irresponsibly, he has now uncovered a lapse in airport security that has existed for over ten years.
I brought this to the attention of a regional airports Security Manager almost ten years ago, and still at that airport, this exact thing can happen. The DOT must either think that potential terrorists are completely stupid, or maybe it is they that have been reckless in the standards applied for the transportation of catering between production facility and aircraft side.
I trust that the airlines will make their voices heard, and get something done about this!
Back To The Bunker!
