tigger2k8 call100, how isn't it anything to do with the security staff? its their job to check passports/boarding cards at the search area before going airside 
ive always had my passport and ticket checked by staff at the search area... and ofcourse the staff for swissport who checked him in / boarded ..
Last time I flew from there they only checked the boarding card. The same when I flew from Manchester....Passports were only checked by Handling agent staff.......I'm not arguing the rights or wrong with you.
