B737 CREW WAS HASSLED BY GND SECURITY PERSONNEL AT BTV.

Narrative

WHILE CLRING SECURITY; THE SCREENING DEVICES WERE SET VERY SENSITIVE; REQUIRING FLC'S TO EMPTY POCKETS; ETC. THE SECURITY PERSONNEL WERE ACTING VERY INTIMIDATING AND IMPROPER TOWARD THE FLC. THE FO PUT HIS BAGS THROUGH SCREENING AND THEN EMPTIED HIS POCKETS AND STILL COULD NOT GET THROUGH THE METAL DETECTOR WITHOUT SETTING OFF THE ALARM. THE SECURITY AGENT WANTED TO HAND WAND AND SEARCH HIM; BUT DUE TO A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THE SAME PERSON THE WK BEFORE; HE CHOSE NOT TO BE SEARCHED AND ASKED FOR HIS BAGS BACK; AND WENT DOWN TO FLT OPS AND ENTERED THE ACFT RAMP SIDE. NOTE: THE FO WAS VERY POLITE TO THE SECURITY PERSONNEL AND NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO THEM EXCEPT TO ASK FOR HIS BAGS BACK. AS WE TAXIED OUT FOR TKOF; WE GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE CTL TWR TO CALL THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY ADVISED US THAT THE SECURITY AGENT HAD FILED A GND SECURITY INCIDENT RPT. I THEN ASKED TO TALK TO THE COMPANY GND SECURITY COORDINATOR. THE GND SECURITY COORDINATOR AND MYSELF DECIDED THAT THERE WAS NO THREAT TO SECURITY OR SAFETY; AND THE GND SECURITY COORDINATOR ADVISED US THAT WE WERE OKAY TO CONTINUE FOR TKOF.
