S!d the legislation - you hold me for 8 hours with no direct reason and as a pax. I am going to be out to get you - this is not acceptable either from a security or commercial point of view - I would now be a) about to cause hell with the story to the press for both the airline and DTI/Police etc. and b) looking for bloody good explanations/apologies from the airline/DTI/Police and c) speaking with my solicitor to screw all 3 and claim damages
This security is and has been illconcieved and an over reaction - my personal point of view
They cannot refuse you the name of the officer in charge - they are not themselves beyond the law although they, like customs, appear to think they are
Shiftzz - from what you have said you have every reason and every right to register a formal complaint and expect it to be explained/investigated/answered - advice, in parallel make yr complaint very public and be prepared to embarrass them as they deserve
