If everyone/everything isnt checked screened every time they enter airside(no hemming, hawing or excuses), if not its not sterile and never will be! If you believe otherwise your either blind or insane.
Agreed - EVERYONE needs to be screened, as long as you have a McDonalds/Burger King/airline employee able to enter the sterile area without being screened, the area is no longer sterile. And this goes for the screeners too.

At Australian airports, we routinely see screeners being screened before commencing work, again, the principle is that EVERYONE entering the sterile area is screened. What is so hard about this? But then, we don't have the shoe circus and the pointless ID checks either, so screening is a breeze.
