Repeated final boarding calls as clearly pax are being caught up in the security clearance queues. A lot of stressed out passengers, people getting fed up.

Security staff doing their very best to get passengers through.

FR2184 Alicante and EZY7421 Palma both receiving a lot of final call notices. Sounds like some passengers may not make it through security queues in time to make final boarding call requests.
This is not good for SEN reputation as a quick and stress free airport to get through, especially if some PAX have indeed missed their flights because of the long wait to get through security. What happened to the terminal expansion plans i wonder, this should have been started during the winter months i would have thought.
