All this Journo has highlighted is something that has been known for many, many years.
Namely that a bona fide pass holder can be coerced (bribed) into smuggling persons or weapons into a secure area.
This topic has been raised at just about every security brief I have attended in the last 20 odd years.
Think about it guys, that's why crew are security screened before going airside.
Are some of you really suggesting that anyone can now do anything illegal to point out something the entire industry already knows? Come on!!!!!!!!!!!
I can do 100+ mph in my car just to point out to the police that it's possible but I'll still get done for it, whether or not I work for a newspaper!
