It is not a transit issue. Departed from FRA last Tuesday night to IST. Passed "normal" security check (laptop out, jacket off, belt off, shoes off, watch off, etc.), then got dressed again and passed passport control. Down the escalators and another bl**dy security check. When I asked about the person responsible for this insanity who would accept my complaint, I was told that as a German taxpayer I had no recourse.
Well, at least the last lot who gave us such brainless stop-and-search checks had names.... Himmler, Heydrich, Goebbels, Schellenberg. And their address was the Reichssicherheitshauptamt. Now, it's an anonymous apparatus working against you.
