The ORACLE has hit the nail on the head. The Security Act was drafted by people without a clue. They are the same people who put hardened cockpit doors in SAABs and Dash 8's without any consideration for how the door would be opened inflight or in the event of both pilots being incapacitated.

If I get called over for an explosive check I insist on reading the information card first and I take my time over it. The security bloke then asks if I have done a check before to which I say yes but that I still want to read the information that I have a right to access. It frustrates them as it all takes time but that is the minor point that I am making.

And to all the SLF that get annoyed with crew using the crew lane to get to the x-ray machine first, that is the price you have to pay for crew getting screened.
