Maybe there was a fault with the machinery. Generally Gatwick has a good reputation for security queues so maybe your experience was just unfortunate. I personally do not believe
managers deliberately keep queue times up or down.
In the context of the present situation in Europe maybe a wait at security is the least thing to moan about.
I must stress this is just my personal opinion and no offence intended.
