Thieves in the Duty-Free at Son Sant Joan: How Secure Is Palma's Airport Really?

Answer

Why do airports like Palma rely so much on tickets and access control?

Airports depend on ticket-based access because it is one of the main ways to separate passengers, staff and visitors from restricted areas. At Palma, that system helps manage movement through a very busy environment, but it also needs regular checks to prevent abuse. When controls are too loose, people can exploit the system to enter areas they should not use.
