I don't see how this couldn't be prevented by having ground crew take a quick look inside the wheel wells before the plane taxis to the runway. Is it too elevated to see in easily?
- nwh 12y agoDo you check the wheel wells of your car before you drive? The chance of something being wrong there is so slight that the convenient option is taken.
- anthony_franco 12y agoTrue. But I also don't ask passengers to pass through a metal detector before boarding my car.

- srl 12y agoApparently this is something done in regions considered to have high stowaway risk. (Don't remember the source - it was mentioned in one of the news outlets covering this.) However, this isn't done in most airports, since it's not really seen as being worth the effort. In particular, it's simply not supposed to be possible for somebody to sneak onto the tarmac unnoticed.
