Narrative:

Passenger were boarded in gso without a cabin crew on board. This is, of course, an far violation not only because of the lack of a cabin crew, but because it gave access to the ramp area to unauthorized personnel, ie, the general public, so in addition there was a security violation. I gave a strong protest to the gate personnel and explained the seriousness of their lack of alertness. I hope the FAA does not ever find out or there would be hell to pay.
