Amazing happening last Monday. From touchdown to being outside T3 with my baggage, just 15 minutes.

However yesterday's return to AGP marred by a "blue nasty" security person.

Since when have security had the role of checking hand baggage size at MAN?

Bad, ill mannered, stout, balding, scowling, bespectacled and ignorant individual encountered yesterday at the ticket gate of T3 security. " Have you put that bag in the gauge?" was the question he uttered. "Yes, at check in and it fits well inside." I replied. "Come with me, I want to see" and takes me back to a Manchester Airport gauge at security entrance. When the bag fitted, the individual uttered "Umh" and let me pass. No "please, sorry" or any other intelligible word could he find.

I mentioned this individuals behavior to another pleasant, smiling security chap at the scanning machine and on pointing him out was told that he behaved that way to his colleagues and apologized for him.

So can somebody tell me, as well as who gave security the right to check bags for size, why is the ignoramus in a job? He is bad for the airport's image.

Or better still can anybody PM me with Muirhead's email address?
