First impressions of new security area - the approach is a little more cramped once you're through the sliding doors - boarding pass checks as usual although several were double checked with the scanner operator - are there new staff? There's a little more room once past the scanners. Only two scanners in operation this afternoon, although in three years of almost weekly travel early in morning and midday I've never seen any more than two in use. I wasn't aware of the individual procedure being any faster/lower than usual; queue lengths can vary markedly over short periods. A few more seats would be welcome for those replacing shoes, belts and personal ironmongery.
