LHR Security have competition
I thought LHR T4 security had a monopoly on the incompetence leading to massive queues, but I found out Thursday that CPH T2 is competing. Over 95 minutes to get through - only 2 gates open. Announcements that it was 'due to the number of passengers'. They also introduced 'new security procedures', although the actual event didn't seem any different to previous passages through CPH T2 security - which has always been pretty slow.
One is reminded very much of Sir W.S Gilbert, who said 'Although Saturday comes round with amazing regularity, it still seems to catch the Metropolitan railway by surprise'. The same appears to apply to airport managers and the security chiefs. It can't require great intelligence to figure that the summer will bring large numbers of passengers, and a bit of addition of number of flights times seats on a plane will give the order of magnitude of the number of people that have to get through security!
A public flogging for the airport and the security management would be a good idea, as a punishment for their stupidity and incompetence. Probably in China, they'd get a bullet in the back of the neck, their organs would be sold for transplant and their families would get a bill for the bullet. A bit severe, but it might make the other useless b******s wake up and do their job properly!
