Recently out of a major UK airport one of the Captains just quietly let his feelings known when after being requested to return through the scanner again and again to remove shoes and then belt etc etc then he just removed his trousers to save them the bother,,, a weeks suspension and now he is taking a case against the security due loss of earnings.
There is no doubt it is distracting and uttelry OTT, this feeling is without doubt felt amongst all flight and cabin crew where I am.
I have had security pull a bottle of water out of my bag that i just plainly forgot about and then had to endure a verbal stripping down and speaking to like a child from some jumped up johhny with a vendetta for flight deck.
Just take the bottle off me and keep your attitude for elsewhere,we are supposed to be on the same team are we not?
I for one am FED UP with it,, the system needs a reality check.
