Welcome terrorists to Air Italia

There is something very relaxed about the Italians. I am not sure if it has something to do with the siesta or quantity of red wine consumed at any time of the day. But our experience so far with Air Italia has been 'interesting'. Flying from Rome to Barcelona, going through security check in the person who was meant to be watching the x-ray screen was in deep conversation with a fellow worker ignoring what was going through. Even Kathy who set of the metal detector had a momentary hand waved over her and that was it. Then boarding the plan there was no check of boarding tickets.

Was this a rare case? Seems not. Leaving Rome (stopover) to Athens as I was pasing through the security I noticed the person 'watching' the screen had a strange bobble to his head. On closer inspection he was asleep and slowly droping his head to the desk then lifting it as he got close. He certainly did take the concept of siesta seriously! Then boarding the plane we noticed two people in our seats. It turns out they were not meant to be on this flight!

I am guessing that Italy is not high on Osamas priority targets but it does make you wonder???
