I think I got the bad apple last October. Domestic flight to STN, ineffectively searched, 50ml shaving cream (only liquid in little plastic bag) seized and thrown, request to speak to his supervisor denied, threatened with refusal to fly if I did not move on. I would have stood my ground if there was more time to spare but EZY are not renowned for their patience.
So, its a longer drive to GLA or EDI from now on. Shame really as NCL is a nice airport to fly from and the vast majority of staff are great.
