Perth Airport "Security" ???...

[Ex FSO GRIFFO]

A Report in this morning's 'West' about an overnight graffiti attack at Perth International Airport - Domestic side.

Apparently the local pilots "were having a bit of a chuckle yesterday after an overnight graffiti attack on a plane at-------- Airlines ...".- end of quote.

It seems that the fence was cut into and the culprits successfully evaded airport security (?) and scrawled various 'tags' and 'Duso Hacker 07' to a certain '35 seat Dash-8 plane'.

Any elaboration guys / gals, as to whether the owners are 'chuckling' at the prospect of removing said graffiti and perhaps having to check all aircraft for other vandalism / damage / safety breaches???

And, I wonder if the 'perps' had their ASIC's......tut tut.....:}

Cheers

Aw c'mon Griffo, they couldn't protect that end of the field because they were busy ensuring that granny's replacement hip wouldn't explode, and that baby's formula was in a less than 100ml zip-locked container, and couldn't be mixed with some other innocuous substance to make a bigger bang than the bub's bum after a feed. :*

[Over and gout]

They must be ASIC holders because it is clearly impossible to get airside without one, right?

Probably bored Skippers cadets..:ok:

[gaunty]

Down that end, candy, taking and baby work well in a sentence.:rolleyes:

If I were Maroomba I would be screaming blue bloody murder. Who pays to fix it and fopr the operational delays??

For my part if I caught the buggers the last thing I would be asking for would be an ASIC, something more like "are you with HBF".:E :mad:

Now I'm not one accuse anyone but has anyone done a pprune title search for this Dusa hacker 07, could be a disgruntled worker. With the security over that end I'm surprised they noticed the hole. Maybe they'll get the whole picture now rather than just looking at the obvious. That and take homer simpson off the camera duty.

I'm with you on the catching them Mr. G, back in the old days we'd teach them respect with the 2x4. These days they are carrying knives so we have to be more careful.

[gaunty]

W O G mate :p

Dusa hacker 07.

Dusa = Slovenian or eastern European person, formerly Soviet Russian colonies Checkoslovakia or from one of those countries formerly known as Yugoslavia.

hacker = common term for "tagger"

07 = ?? seventh person on tagger clan called Dusa??

Shouldn't be too hard for the WA plod to find him.

If recall correctly they were repairing/replacing some of those big arse tarmac lights down that end the other day, maybe they went tech.?

Word.

A'ight?

[gaunty]

I would never have believed it but:

A'ight is actually a word in common usage??

You have to excuse him Mr G he's a new Australian, Choice Bro Pittsboy. Oh and Mr G lets not blame our ethnic minorities, Dusa can also apply 2 a as in duece A, but our taggers are not known for grammatical correctness, or me for that matter.

Either way it would be nice to see one of those Phalynx Anti Missile systems that target anyone with a spraycan and an inane childish identity crisis. That would do a lot for airport security and also help remove the "human" factor. We could also dial it in for any HR lawyers that are thinking of B pay scales and pay for ratings with 25 year bond gigs. Do wonders for IR as well as entertaining staff. Imagine watching them trying to go airside to the Global Express with the mini gun screaming.

Gaunty, if it makes you feel any better, I was using it ironically (you know "ironic", like rain on your wedding day ;).)

[gaunty]

AerocatS2A:ok:

Wasn't directed at you I'm just a bewildered old duffer who is actually an avid fan of Ali G and Borat. :} And occasionally has to ask my youngest a son to translate for me. I was brought (dragged) up in the days when ABC newsreaders were required to speak English as she was spoke and wear a Dinner Jacket and Black tie whilst reading it.:rolleyes:

I've just never seen it written down.:sad:

[WA-CEET]

Was trying to find the West article online and did a search this morning and turned this up on blog page

" Airport land: snuck onto airport property and stood at the end of the runway at Perth airport and watched the jets fly 100 metres overhead and come in for a landing (lets pretend this wasn't illegal and that hopefully no one working for airport security reads blogs) 7 May 2007"

Seems not all that hard to get airside.

[gaunty]

Dunno whether it is connected to the works in progress at the airport but there was a security guard in a hut at the gate down that end which is not normally?? manned.

WA-CEET Dunno about that, you can get close enough to appear to be standing at the end of a runway without actually being on airport land. And there are regular random patrols and if you do get caught, trust me, they wont just throw you back over the fence. It wont be Guantanamo but neither will it be the Sheraton.:E

[catpac]

Gaunty,

What makes you say that the term "Dusa" has Slovenian, Yugoslav, Checz or Russion origins???

[tomcat264]

This is total 100% BULL****! If some asshole stood on the end of the RWY the first thing the pilot would do is call ATC and say some asshole is on the end or the runway!!! Nothing pisses me off more than some drop kick putting in his 2 cents worth when they dont know what goes on!

[ScottyDoo]

07 = ?? seventh person on tagger clan called Dusa??

Do you reckon it might be the year? Just a shot in the dark...

FYI
If you know the area, you can get to within 100 metres of RWY21 and still be not on airport land

[arkmark]

Airport Security Air Side - there simply is none.

In many years working domestic ramp I was only ever asked for my ASIC one time by the authoritars.

To mock the stupidity of it all, I used to wear my medicare card and sometimes my credit card over my ASIC and nobody ever commented or challenged me.

The farce of it all is that you get all but a cavity search to get on a plane as a pax or a crew, yet the ramp is almost totally ignored.

It's all about visible security to the public), and not at all about real security.

The ongoing lack of security on the ramp and the relatively small ocurrance of security issues there really does show up what a total overkill and farce the up stairs airport security is.

[blueloo]

I had an ASIC check somewhere the other day - at the end of the flight..... phew, lucky I didnt do anything before the end - like impersonate a pilot!

[tomcat264]

FYI the RWY 21 undershoot is 400m long & yes I know your talking about the mound which is behind the security fence, but you are on airport land & btw the mound is no longer AVBL

Dont you just wonder who you might actually be talking too on these forums?

like this one???

does it have to be about how many times you get stopped or checked?? as an ASIC holder it is actually YOUR responsibility to wear and display the card. it is a law. and it's also YOUR responsibility if you see someone not wearing one, to ask them what they are doing airside...

[Capn Bloggs]

The law's an ass TE3 and anybody who defends it is guilty of the same offence! :}

G'day Guys / Gals,

So what was the result of said 'graffiti'?

Any hours lost due cleaning, 'unnecessary but very necessary' inspections, 'time down' delays, etc etc.

And, just a thought, but is there then a 'case' to be put to the airport owners / operators for any damages incurred due lack of security??

Or, is it just taken 'on the chin' as 'one of those things'??

Just curious is all.

Ta!:ok:

[Skystar320]

Considering it happened in MAY / JUNE this year hope it has been cleaned!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid idiot dug it out of the trenches
