Don't forget that the security staff are merely following very strict directives from the Government.
No matter how insane these orders may seem, or are, if they don't implement them, the airport can be prosecuted (and it wouldn't suprise me in the least if there's someone in the Dft just itching to make an example of someone somewhere), and the security bod will lose his job.

As far as landing fees at Norwich are concerned, yes they've gone up and its my opinion that it's complete insanity, but as I say that's just my opinion.
I do know that that the airport owners are negotiating with two resident companies to take over the GA handling completely, this means you'll taxy to the western end, park up and miss the joys of the terminal and associated troubles entirely (what you won't get is a 400 yard ride in a 40 seater bus).
I'd like to think that the fees would come down to a reasonable level, but I'd like to think a lot of things, I can only hope that the new handling agent recognises the value of GA as much as the rest of us.

Just one last thing, for all sorts of reasons, I find the use of the term "nazi" to describe someone who's just doing their job, regardless of who they are or your personal opinion of them, as incredibly offensive, kindly desist.
