Security Checks
In some Indian airports, there are two sets of security checks. One is conducted with the governmental security force - This consists of a full body pat-down and waving a x-ray wand all over one's body.
The second one is conducted by the individual airlines. There is a super-fast pat down (about a second) and hang baggage is opened and looked at for about 2 seconds. The airline employees are usually in a hurry to get the plane off on time, and so their check is, in my mind, quite pointless.
I wonder why these checks are conducted ? (Does it reduce their insurance premium) and also, I wonder if these checks are admissible by law ?
PS: Definitely beats being shot dead though.

And you are right ! I also thought, if they are allowed and if it necessary to check again, as we had already been checked by the airport officials once...
This shows either there is some illegal stuff sold inside airport (lol), or these pvt airlines dont find the airport security worth trusting.
