But as I have post so many times before aiine employees are not requires to be screened by TSA to enter ther sterile area. And more than likely, these employees have access to the SIDA area, too. All airports have to do is establish procedures for who gets what access. BTW, this deals with employees while at work, not those on personal business.
And I trust these employees. Sure a few will be bad. This is true of any industry. I bring my soda through the checkpoint, too!!
How was the weather in Dallas?? I'll be there in a few weeks for a few days.
I don't know are you? Ask your fellow worker TSORon, he should know.
TSA permits the airline/airport employees access to the secure areas without screening because it is TSA's job to control that access, no one elses.
Having different standards for clearing security is the most basic security failure there is and TSA seems right on top of that heap.
Until TSA can guarantee that employees are not introducing contraband then TSA has failed its mission when thousands of people enter the sterile area without any screening.
Congress put TSA in charge of airport security, not the airlines.
