If it is as regular as this then i hope someone is working on a solution.MAN has been my airport of choice for long haul but may have a rethink if it persists.
Incidentally Oz daughter missed her connection from LHR to MAN when she arrived at the end of August, due to security queues at LHR.Two hours in the queue which she put down to the higher security state, she was well pi$$ed off when she arrived at security to find four x ray machines but only one being used..
