This has nothing to do with anything relating to the issues at hand. Not one of these people had as duties checking people for weapons, nor did any of them figure they could just eliminate the wanding of people who set off the detector. Lots of people goof off at work, hell, most of the posts here by people in the daytime are probably people goofing off, but that is considerably different then not wanting to do something and compromising security for an entire terminal.

I would also venture to say that if the CEO's telephone rang, it would get answered. If the Nurse had a code warning, she would take care of it, and if a visitor came into the legislator's office, she would see to it he was taken care of. The minimum wage guards just didn't feel like wanding the people that set off the walk throughs, which is considerably different then the examples above.
