Other than that, LBA seems ok, improvements are much appreciated.
Bit of a moot point there giblets. See my other post (above?), it all depends on the supervisor and staff that they have. As with any other company there are god and bad management (i place supervisors in this class just for ease). On some days the wait may be minimal on others way too long due to the mis-management of the staff they have. You must also try to understand that the 'plods' may have been told 'do not do anything unless you are told to do so', in this case if the supervisor has not be made aware of a bag needed to be searched then the wait is lengthened. Next time you come through maybe try to check out the one supervising and see if the wait is longer with different people "in charge", i can take bets now that it will vary with each supervisor and shift.
