A result of security theatre at the Airport
Some recent news headlines
Some airport screeners have sticky fingers, documents show http://bit.ly/nKa5gp Toronto Sun.
Airport security thefts plague Canadian travellers http://www.torontosun.com/2011/09/13/airport-security-thefts-plague-canadian-travellers Toronto Sun.
Not surprised at this. The rush was to make it look like the government was doing something, they hired at a low pay with minimum screening. This leads to trouble with under screened and under trained personal.
For any security involved job, we need to hire good people at a good wage. Not farming it out to a contractor who hires at a low wage.
They need continuous training as the rules they are to enforce keep changing. They need training on how to deal with people in general. Also have some of them speaking more than English or French would be a good thing too.
They need as good wage, so there is less temptation to steal or work with criminal elements. The vast number of laptops stolen at Airports in Canada and the USA would seem to indicate that there is some cooperation between some security elements at some airports.
