i had a really shitty airport job right after 9-11 for doing airside security on the runway. you would be amazed how many times you have to warn the baggage train drivers to not drive in front of the spinning turbine intakes on a plane that just landed. as ADG said they are not always easy to see moving and are virtually silent when the engine/thrust is killed... takes a few minutes for them to settle the RPMs down
