If the concern is worrying about those on the tarmac ... I agree. However, I find it disconcerting that we're more worried about pax bringing scissors and the like on board and having shoe carnivals when those who actually have physical access to the plane are ignored. That's a huge vulnerability, and I think the ball is being dropped there.
That's my whole point. No, they aren't undergoing the same screening as passengers. They have acess to doors from the outside the gets them by security. The airlines have said they are trying to fix this problem, but its been 3 years. They bypass us constantly. 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. :td:
