Airport Security Complaints & Incidents (Merged)

[2infinity]

By comparison...

Enjoyed a domestic flight in New Zealand (Auckland to Nelson) last November.

Turned up 20 mins before departure to check in hold baggage.

Then straight to gate; no metal detector, no x-ray, no explosives check, no shoe check, no ID check, no questions, nada.

Just time to buy a newspaper before we boarded!

Before I get flamed please note I am not advocating such lax security here, on continental Europe, the USA or elsewhere. On the contrary, it would be folly not to have strict, multi-layered security at such airports because of the alleged level of threat that exists.

But it sure did make a pleasant change from LHR T1 on a Friday evening!
