1) Be as nice and polite as you can possible can be.
2) Do everything asked of you.
3)As you are queing at the gate, be grateful that in your job, u don't have to put up with as much **** as the operatives who are screening you do.
4) Remember that you are not important, you are just an ordinary person flying on an ordinary flght and consequently, are subject to whatever Government Restrictions pertain at the time.
5) Remember that, if these restrictions were not in place and your flight was hi jacked, you'd be the first to squeal and litigate like a stuck pig!
6) Remember, that you are a very ordinary airline user, you deserve no worse than the best security restrictions for the benefit of yourdelf and your fellow passengers.
I tried to apply all this last week as I queued for 1h45min to go through security at South Terminal, Gatwick.
I also tried to apply this advice as I stepped around the 80 year-old lady who had collapsed whilst in the queue.
The country is going to the dogs and it is all total a**e covering by UK politicians.
