Airport Workers Taking Advantage

[UAL_TECH]

Feds to Boost Air Worker Checks

Excerpt:

The pending announcement follows the arrest this week of two Comair baggage handlers for allegedly carrying a duffel bag laden with 14 guns and eight pounds of marijuana on a Delta Airlines flight from Orlando, Fla., to San Juan, P.R. According to court documents, the two employees used their employee uniforms and airport identification badges to pass by screeners and enter high-security areas.

The incident highlights a loophole that allows 800,000 airport food and support workers to get ID badges that allow them to bypass screening while American airport passengers undergo the most rigorous screening ever that, most recently, requires them to remove shoes and have liquids and gels over a few ounces confiscated.

at .25 grams per doobie (depending on THC content and rolling method), there would be about 14,500 sticks.
If consumption were limited to one a day, it would take 40 years to 'burn' a personal use of 8 lbs.

Just some trivia...

I was wondering when this was going to happen. Maybe somebody will close those back doors now. The rest of us have to park in the boone docks, ride an employee bus in and then stand in line to go thru security why can't they?
