underfire, nice to see someone from airport security post on here....
You certainly have the attitude to work there
The problem is a complete lack of ability to apply some common sense. I don't think it's crossing too many boundaries to say there haven't been any elderly ladies conduct hijackings but a certain group that have. I've been the subject of extra security whilst members of that "group" stroll through
As aircrew, I know the rules and I abide by them, but if for some unknown reason I really wanted to take control...guess what? I already have it and have zero need for explosives, 100gm of hair gel or deodorant!
