The things that get my goat about security:-
They search me for anything "dangerous". They ignore my can opener and never search my shoes. But does it even matter? As soon as I get to the aircraft I have an axe within arms reach.
When returning from a flight, trying to get back to landside, with an entire crew in uniform, I get awkward security staff wanting to see my ID pass before they will open the door. Why? I am already airside, its very very obvious that I am crew off a flight, and I am only trying to get back into a building that allows anyone into it from landside. I don't understand.
Amen Sister!
Doesn't make a lot of sense to pilfer "dangerous" items like can openers etc., ostensibly to prevent you from taking over the plane, when that's exactly what you will do not minutes after they take them!
WE allow them to continue the show......
