Hi all ,
I did airport security once when i was abroad , not my own choice just got roped into it . However i did the atsi course , which was your air port security course qualifacation . I didnt want to do it , even spelt my name wrong on purpose and still qualfied .
However i learnt what a tough job they have , no one likes you …….might as well be a traffic warden . Where i worked we had no rapiscan ( xray for bags ) so 100 % bag searches . No one likes you going through their bags . I learnt very quickly to wear rubber gloves , i once found what i can only explain as shit in some ones bag .
As bad as that sounds i couldn’t stop them flying , or complain just got on with it . I hated it , not my choice of job but hey here i was ……..bastards !!!!
An old trick was a wrist watch with a pin put through the face …..the explosives might be in a book on their cabin luggage ( explosives and celulose as in books paper etc shows up the same on rapiscan ) . They get on the plane they have the explosives in their over head lockers and the timer is their wrist watch .
Now at the time i had the choice of one or two things , one let them go by and alert the police to come deal with them . Or play hero and punch the bastards in the face . I can say this now as this was along time ago . Airport security has moved on alot more and for the better .
So if you get stopped , comply and you’ll be gone as quick as …..you dont then well maybe they search some more !!!!!
My point is they have a hell of a job , very hard and no one likes them just like traffic wardens …..but remember they are there for your safety as well
Please dont shit in your suit case , it aint good
Regards
Mungo
