I don't disagree with the reasoning at all - it is valid. It was more the tone of the expression but I don't want to digress, so I'll leave it there.
Suffice to say - we've been bleating on for years about questionable characters being dragged in off the street and brought into the aviation domain. It is too bad we're in a public forum, because I'm sure you and I can beat a story or two about ASIC's. I know I can, and I can give examples that reflect a broken system.
I reiterate one of my initial posts in that company recruiting and ASIC issuance standards should be brought into question and if the government are hell bent on spending money then they can come up with something better than the ineffective would-be strategy of screening ground staff at the doors.
