This morning, I was being thoroughly searched and belongings X-Rayed by pleasant security staff in Concord House. To my amazement, two people, allegedly from Customs and Excise (though it was hard to tell as they were just in white shirts) breezed through security with the most tertiary of glances at their passes.
Further more, they had a bag each, set off the buzzer and their passes were not "swiped" through the card scanner.
Surely, this is not commensurate with a policy that seeks to ensure that everyone airside has been searched by airport security?
Comments from people involved in Airside Operations at major airports, and those with more than one brain cell welcome!
