I'm still scratching my head at the security screening all passengers got put through at Melbourne a few weeks ago after ARRIVING on a Rex flight...........and it looks like its a permanent arrangment to do it, too!

What really got me was the (very polite) security person asking me if I had any metal binders in my hand luggage...............AFTER it had been x-rayed!

I mean, I'd just ARRIVED on the bloody plane, and obviously hadn't used my (non-existent) metal binder(s) to cause mischief on the way, so what the hell was I supposed to be going to do with my metal binder(s) at that point when I was clearly no longer ON the plane???

I just shook my head in disbelief, said no.

This is bureaucracy gone totally and utterly out of control.
