OT I know, but OOL seems to epitomise "security stupidity" and I don't say that in an intentionally derogatory way (I am after all, a Gold Coaster), it just seems true. I also don't just aim that at the pax either. The other week I was watching the next line to the one I was in. My line was longer but I chose it because I saw potential disaster........a pax's carrying on bag that was the size of a small humpback whale. I watched somewhat bemused (and happy I didn't choose that line) whilst the security guy/chick endlessly discussed whether to allow it through..............MAKE A DESCISION GANG AND STOP HOLDING UP THE LINE. It surely couldn't have been that hard, either they have authority to reject an obviously oversized delivery truck or they don't. I passed through security, was bomb screened and gone and they were still arguing with the bags owner!
I think that's why we're not allowed to carry knives....to prevent us slashing our own wrists whilst waiting for the idiots in the security queue!
