#1 there is an issue with some of the restricted areas, Downing said. They dont have cameras, so this produces a bit of a challenge.
Watch the passengers, don't watch the watchers.

I suspect one of the air 'meal' catering truck operators.

#6 This has nothing to do with a "Bomb", it's a simple bang and not loud or destructive, they're over reacting and definitely over-charging.

#7 Try one in a sheet metal mailbox RJ, see if it's real blood or merely red dye.

#9 Try one in a sheet metal mailbox RJ, see if it's real blood or merely red dye.

Or a metal trashcan, like in the restrooms.

Or on the tarmac, where someone might pick it up to prevent FOD.

they're over reacting and definitely over-charging.

It's an airport. You know, with aircraft and passengers. If "it's a simple bang and not loud or destructive:, what happens when it eventually is "loud and destructive"? Are you going to complain about lousy airport security?

Odds are, you will.
