Wrong paarmo. NOT another urban myth.
My other half who works at LHR was asked if she wanted a Harrods teddy bear from the confiscated bin. The security staff were helping themselves to items at the time.
Reporting security is a waste of time. When she reported security for an inappropriate pat down, the BAA ignored three witnesses and closed ranks. They refused to view the security tapes of the incident because it would apparently infringe the security gnomes Human Rights. This was about a year ago. Several of her colleagues had been asked by this female security gnome to go to a room and open their blouses. The incident that triggered the complaint could only be described as an assault and did not conform to security pat down procedure.
IMO the police should have been called, but then I’m willing to be a right royal pain to any jumped up SOB that believes they can get away with anything.
