Cam I just ask which airline you were travelling with? I only ask as most airlines recommend arriving at the airport 2.5-3 hours before departure. From what you are saying (not sure how long it took you to check in), but it would appear you left a lot less time to get through than advised.
Obviously this doesn't take away from the fact that the staff didn't seem to be communicating with one another, which is abysmal and makes queues longer in some cases, but most airlines wouldn't advise turning up at security at 05.00 for a 06.10 departure, if that is what happened
