From entering the service lift to clearing security took 1 hour including not moving for 15 mins on immediately exiting the lift.
I was surpised to get through in an hour tbh as the scene on exiting the lift was grim. There was a resigned silence amongst the masses.
Passengers were being pulled out the queue to make flights. Not all the scanners were in operation and we were told not to take anything at all out of our bags for the scanners.
