Your cite says nothing about making security stricter. It only covers the FSD's limited discretion to ease security.

Confused? Keep in mind, this is the same agency that says 1) nitro pills and other items are 'generally permitted' BUT 2) the screener has the final say on whether or not any item is allowed.

Gotta love the specific loophole created to allow FSDs to permit 'special' people to bypass security entirely.

1) Everyone should be screened. The 'special' individual is free to request a private screening. A member of the family or entourage can go through regular screening with the 'special' person's belongings.

2) Why should family members and entourage be permitted to piggy-back on the 'special' individual's fame? There is zero reason not to subject them to the same screening other pax receive. It's not like the offspring or friends of a 'special' public person have never gone rogue before.

I'm glad the rule made the distinction between 'elected official' and 'trustworthy person', since they are rarely the same.
