We don't have access to those doors, and like I said, 1 person will swipe their badge and let 4 or 5 others in with them. The janitors will push their carts in the exit lane to be checked and then go downstairs and go through so they don't have to go through security. Am I the only one that see's a problem here? I don't understand why the TSA cannot enforce the rules when it comes to airport employees.
No, I'm with you. I think this is a problem too.
If pilots and flight crew have to be screened and they're ones manning the planes, why do janitors and fast food workers get a free pass? (rhetorical question) It doesn't make any sense.
