Yep they should be spending more time on real security.
Not long ago I passed through DXB airport, seems they had Black and Decker cordless drills on sale INSIDE THE SECURITY area!!
And the idiots wouldn't let me take a small pair of scissors through.
ADL also seem anal retentive in the International terminal, I've had quite a few run ins with those little smart a###s
Oh well I guess I'll just have to clock my FO with the crow bar or use my pen.
You've got to wonder.
