Screening domestic passengers to the same degree as international ones would be costly. Picture: Perth Now PerthNow
PASSENGERS on domestic flights will have to show photo ID before boarding as part of of a proposed overhaul of airport security.
More than a million passengers a year board flights in Australia without passing through security, raising the risk of a terrorist strike. Or, illustrating that terrorism is NOT a problem on Australian Airlines.
Perhaps this is why the foreign-owned Herald Sun chooses NOT to elaborate on their claim that problem free usage of the airlines actually constitutes proof that the so-called "terrorist" risk is higher.
Similar to the last article, this is another fear based article, training you to believe that you are in danger and must give up more of your freedoms. Soon, you and your children WILL be fondled at both legs of your travel.
Thats four gropes on a return trip.
Did you know that when a human experiences fear, other human faculties shut down so that a human can focus on dealing with that fear?
Fear has a long term debilitating effect on humans. It is no 'accident' that so many people are stressed out about the basic human necessities, that they are preyed upon and manipulated by those that profit of your manifested energy.
The recommendation for photo IDs on all domestic flights will be made today by the parliamentary joint committee on law enforcement, Fairfax newspapers report.
The ALP & Liberals are happy to subject you to this inconvenience. They are stealing your rights away from you by getting you to believe that you are in danger from a non-existant threat that they created themselves.
Regional flights have been identified as among the most vulnerable to criminal activity, how? where is the verification of this claim? with pilots and unions raising serious concerns regional aircraft could be used by home-grown terrorists
The Department of Infrastructure and Transport says domestic screening only occurs on flights with the highest security risk, adding that the process is "very expensive (and) could lead to some communities losing air services".
It is understood that Qantas is against mandatory photo IDs for domestic flights. It claims that such a policy would discriminate against those who don't have a driver's licence or passport, such as the elderly or infants. The first well made point in this story.
Fairfax reports that the joint committee found that "the e-ticketing process introduces further vulnerabilities, increasing the opportunity for organised criminal networks to exploit the sector for illicit gain".
Transport Workers Union national secretary Tony Sheldon said the union was willing to take industrial action if security measures were not improved.
"If people are not being screened prior to getting on a plane, then it is another symptom of what is going wrong with security in the aviation industry," he said.
"We are playing with fire and, if the status quo remains, we are all going to be badly burnt."
I wonder which master Tony is REALLY serving.
Mr Sheldon said 80 per cent of domestic air freight was also unscreened.
