I have often wondered why flt crew are so picked out for screening.What are they supposed to be carrying.Surely by
just signing a letter saying I am of sound mind today and have
no reason to commit suicide today and kill all my crew and passengers would suffice.
Also,you do not seem to get many journalists trying to put a pretend bomb on a coach or lorry to get on a ferry.Very easy indeed,and could have an even more devastating outcome.Or engineers working on Eurostar could also do the same with a timer to ensure maximum devastation.Why doesn't a journalist drop a package into a bin somewhere on the underground and see how long it takes before it is found.
As someone said earlier,there is no 100% security if people wish to travel,but aviation as always gets the flak.If you tried to get even near it,crews would be out of hours,passengers p++++d
off,and no-one would be going anywhere.
Screening the crews so blatantly in front of passengers just makes them worry more about who they are flying with,rather than fill them with confidence,something which is badly needed just now.
