Let me explain the security farce if I may
A Gobbledocks lament;
The security discussion in the Senate, and elsewhere, is a waste of time and breath. Everyone knows that the OTS do their little annual audits of airlines and airports and look at bullshit such as 'incorrectly coloured maps', spelling mistakes and incorrect page numbers in an Operators TSP, check whether the retarded hamburger flipper in the airport taxi rank Macca's has received 'security training' and can answer the question; what does the acronym 'ASIC' stand for. Then they, the OTS, sneak steak knives, buttplugs and other assorted 'trickery' into carry-on baggage and attempt to fool the security screeners in a never ending game of cat and mouse. But wait there is more - they, the OTS, hide their ASIC in their top pocket and wander around airside hoping they won't be 'challenged' by the myriads of busy baggage handlers, pilots, engineers and refuellers busting their asses to get the plane out on time due to the immense operational pressure that greedy aviation bonus hungry CEO's who couldn't give a flying fuck about aviation security and safety put on their people!! At last they, the OTS, can finally issue a NCN to the poor Caterer up to his elbows in salad rolls and past use-by-date orange juice who is walking up the aircraft stairs and whom didn't question Inspector Plod about his 'ASIC that was not visible'. As if there isn't enough bullshit that we have to endure just to pay the mortgage and remain employed in a once grand but now rooted industry! With the never ending and constantly growing long list of mind numbing, irrelevant, taxpayer wasting complete and utter bullshit security regulations it's no wonder everyone is pissed off. Especially when all of our major airports sit on the coastline and any half baked semi connected criminal could sit in a Tinnie out on the bay with one of the thousands of 'hot' RPG or SAM's that can be purchased. Hell, you could sit in the same Tinnie in Botany Bay with a frickin slingshot and hit some of those aircraft as the barrel over your head at 50 ft AGL.
Security? Security my hairy ass. It too is a complete joke. Hundreds of millions of dollars spent each year to keep the dopey Stockholm syndrome public feeling safe and comfortable. Hell I'm sure even 6D - the perfectly manscaped king of dopiness, is even fooled by this 'comfort blanket' crap called aviation security.
Tick 'security checks' Tock
