unsafe practices at EWR

Check this out.....how is it that these guys come in on their day off....wear their uniforms....and "volunteer" to help unload ANOTHER CARRIER'S EQUIPMENT????? Did they think they were really going to get away with this??

I suspect they probably already did get away with it before - security was obviously lax enough pre-9/11 and for that matter all security issues certainly haven't been solved yet.

it's not entirely clear that it was another carrier's equipment; in fact, I'm willing to bet it was CO since it came from Ecuador/Panama to EWR.

But that's just an aside...

Now if you were an INS Agent, would you pick a flight that originated in Columbia, and stopped in Panama as a likely drug smuggler. Profile anyone??

As for the two airside employees, stupidity knows no boundaries. Set "THE" suitcase aside seperate from the rest of the luggage!

Yes sir, Mr. INS Agent, "here is the suitcase WE are looking for; on our day off". Give me a break please.

This is a classic example of what has gone wrong with security at airports. IMHO, even "authorized"personnel should not have access eyond their "shift time" or beyond their ordinary working area. Evey time an "authorized" person is accessing the restricted area, it should get logged and checked against the work area and work time parameters. The days of just simply waving the badge should be over.
