LH I do not know what airport you work at but at most mainstream UK sites if you decline to be searched you will not gain entry and I can assure the Police are not employed to search people like you. Simple as that. I have been in the industry for 40 years and it is still enjoyable. However, a number of people have died due to terrorist actions and complacency of security and governments alike. It has changed and if you cannot accept the security regeme then maybe it is time to get out.
