Sorry to say that I do regard all three of the MAG airports as the worst in the country from a passenger's perspective of security, and that's from a very broad experience base of frequent travel. I haven't had the same as Skip 1F but have had several other experiences where asinine rules are enforced - usually by shouting at groups of people in queues - that only appear at MAN, EMA or STN. I'm afraid that I've come to associate MAG airports with long security queues, shouty staff, silly local rules, slow processing due to a crazy insistence on almost each item having its own tray for search, far higher probability of trays being rejected for search, and a superior belief that they are somehow doing things better than other airports by enforcing all of these. And anyone with the temerity to challenge or question any of this is told "it's for your own safety". I actively try to avoid all three where I have an alternative.
