I actually wrote the dept in charge of transport security this and asked "why this was so" and got a canned buearecratic response back, to which I replied that they had not answered my question, and got another answer back that they had forwarded my letter to the airport authority in question and some other dept. - from which I have heard nothing back yet, big surprise!
Letters are good but a call is even better. However that DOES require a lot of effort on your part.
By the way, if you were flying in the US then security is run by the TSA. Unless I'm mistaken, every airport in the US now has security run by the TSA. So who exactly did you contact? Was it a person at the airport?

This is a Canadian airport, and the Transport Canada division in charge of security is who I wrote to. I havent flown in a long time, be interesting to see if my name is "flagged" next time tho...
Just curious, to those of you stateside that fly lots, do you also notice lots of "potential weapons" that could be much more dangerous than what you are not allowed thru security in the "secure" area?

I haven't flown since just after 9/11, but even then you could get on the plane with pointy sticks.

I spent about 1/2 hour in the secure area, and in that time saw at least 6 things available that would make lethal weapons if someone chose to do so, some of which could be carried on the plane openly, others not but easily hidden as you are generally not searched again after that.

I doubt the restaurants use plastic knives in the back for their food prep, either. So that's one potential weak point where you'd have some chance at getting an accomplice on the inside. Just apply for a job at Ruby Tuesday's, etc.
