Your absolutely correct, the amount of time wasted by unnecessary secondary bag checks at Manchester is beyond ridiculous. You’ll get people defending this with security reasons/ passengers at fault/ safety first. All valid points.
However those valid points fail to acknowledge the level at which this happens compared to other UK airports complying with the same regulations. The only common theme is Manchester, but nothing changes.
