| 1217797 | 2011-07-19 22:14:00 | Can anybody understand the necessity for the checks on internal flight. I am off to Wellington for a month and am getting ready to feel the contempt I have for these people who take their job so seriously, seeing as how it is a total waste of time. |

| 1217801 | 2011-07-19 23:26:00 | Checking what exactly? The last couple of time I've flown to wellington I haven't even been talked to, let alone 'checked', I could have been anyone with my e-ticket, would have been able to carry on knives/guns etc etc too, I've had a large backpack that's never been checked/properly metal detected. I don't know what all the fuss is about. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1217802 | 2011-07-19 23:28:00 | You can thank one fat Somali chick for the airport security. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1217803 | 2011-07-19 23:33:00 | I would not worry as I don't think Darren Hughes is working in Airport Security | Lawrence (2987) | ||

I don't know what all the fuss is about . But you're only flying in a small plane from where you are to Wellington, wratterus . . . . But I agree with Cicero - it's a total waste of time and effort . Take all your metal objects out of your pocket (wallet, phone), take your laptop out of it's bag (what difference does that make?), walk through the metal detector - arms up and turn around if your belt buckle beeps . Walk back through the metal detector to be rescanned, getting impatient looks from the passengers behind you in the queue . Then pack everything off the conveyor belt back where it belongs . And it's even worse for international travel! The joys of air travel in the 21st century . Thanks, Al Quaeda . But they're following FAA rules . . . Rules are necessary, though . Except when they're not . |

| 1217805 | 2011-07-19 23:57:00 | You will most likely find that checks are done discreetly, either electronically or visually without you realising what is happening. I remember walking through a metal frame before boarding a plane at Dunedin Airport. I may have been asked if I had anything metal on me which would have been picked up. There was no real hassle. | Bobh (5192) | ||
