A few months ago I jury duty & my water was not dangerous in the courthouse. The dep, even said "we are not like those idiots at the airport,
As for the rolling suitcase my only guess would be for some of the things we have to carry like kneepads, headsets, vests,extra change of clothes, ops manuals as we are responsible for so much more than loading bags. Quite a few of our folks who work out side on the ramp carry something similar to what you stated. I work in the baggage make up area so I only carry in one bag.
I think you understand just how security is compromised doing it the way it is done now. TSA checkpoint screening passengers and aircrew and just a few feet away doors used for employee entrance where no screening is being done yet these employees can bring whatever they want into the sterile area.
I think you would also admit that having a suitcase handy would make taking stolen property out of the airport easy as well as bringing contraband into the airport. This points out excellent reasons why employees should be screened, not only coming in but upon leaving.
As to your later post, these guys had uniforms on when they came through the doors.
