Although one should imagine the crew do a security search on a cold aircraft
Having worked for a top russian airline, I must say these security searches are sometimes overlooked and not thorough enough. Once I had to so to speak 'cool-down' DfT inspectors after they found our cabin crew failed on certain points and that was at a major EU airport. On other occasion I witnessed cabin crew sneakily smoking in aft galley during turnaround. Regret to put shadow on Russian airlines, but it's all about safety after all. Can imagine what it's like at SSH and tiny charter carrier.
