why bother when you have 1000s of cleaners, baggage handlers, caterers etc who are allowed onto the plane unsearched and unchecked.

Of course they are subject to extensive background checks = are you willing to work for less than minimum wage?

I don't know about the other job categories, but fast food workers on the wrong side of the security checkpoint do get screened every day before work.

They go through the security checkpoint though - have you ever seen an xray machine and metal detector at the road entrance that all the tankers, food trucks, fedex and baggage arrives through?
