No I'm NOT joking. At UK airports all staff have to go through the screening process and undergo the stringent security checks which passengers have to go through, before they cn proceed into 'Airside' areas. They simply cannot just pass from 'Landside' to 'Airside'. It's not the same for staff as it is for passengers, it's an id and security check and that's about it.
Optimistic as ever |

They simply cannot just pass from 'Landside' to 'Airside'. I've worked at one or two European airports before (although not UK ones). The airport in question appeared to have a very stringent security system and procedure which made moving from landside to airside very troublesome, however on one occasion, I did essentially walk through airport security with a 24 pack of beer which I was later told should definitely not have been allowed airside. Still back to point. No use jumping to conclusions just yet. For every 'this was a terrorist attack' reason being banded around by the media, I can think of a reason why it isnt. Shouldn't take them long to locate the crash site and the black boxes. Go from there methinks.

Staff have to go through a scanner (Just like passengers) and have to deposit items in trays which are then viewed on screen as they pass through.Staff are then 'Patted down' etc etc if the buzzer goes off as they pass through the 'Arch'. These checks are exactly the same as those carried out on passengers.Staff just don't flash their ID cards as they go through from 'Landside' to 'Airside'.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

They're going to have to start screening baggage handlers and cleaners more than the passengers soon. To be honest, the screening is already more stringent for staff than passengers (in UK at least)
There's a bloke down my road who walks round in a Tesco's carrier bag. Turns out he is a brighton faggot. |
