Full Body Scans And More Coming To Domestic Terminals

[eastwest101]

^I hope I'm longer correct but I have read many a story(I think they were reported in AFF) that regional did not have the security of City airports and unaware they have been patched.
No I don't mean mining places..... More remote.
I only see Rex coming into major airport gates that are already behind security.....

But what happens to those arriving Rex passengers at major airports? Take a close look at SYD/MEL or ADL next time and see where the arriving passengers from non-security airports actually arrive, very important to distinguish regional airports with security screening such as Tamworth, Mildura and Dubbo to those without such as Broken Hill.

To the layman the difference may not be so obvious but when you arrive on a Saab 340 or some charter flights it's very obvious to the arriving pax that they are treated as non-sterile or non security screened pax at the arrival airport.

If they introduce a liquids ban for domestic they should mandate airports make bottled water available at supermarket prices on the other side. Airports and airport concessions should be allowed to profit from essential requirements.

I think you meant to type Airports and airport concessions shouldn't be allowed to profit from essential requirements.

The current prices are ridiculous. Perhaps airports should provide vending machines with water at $1/600 mL bottle and they're still making a profit.

For the x-ray operators - Fake images test staff scanning luggage - The Guardian. I seem to recall someone on AFF mentioning seeing it in action (surprised to see a weapon appear in their bag on the screen).

That may not be a gun in your pocket, but why are you going through the conveyor belt scanner?
