As an Air T. Controller in Hong Kong, where the tower/centre complex is in the middle of the field, we have to go through this security rubbish every time we go to work. If there was a reason for me to quit and leave employment here, I would have to cite the hassles of getting to/from work as a major point. Having to duck through the metal detector each time hoping the damn thing won't go off is an excercise in blood pressure elevation. And then when we get to work, we have to eat meals with plastic implements. The whole issue is getting out of control.
PS, I have no problem with the securitry staff, they are very polite.
