The security is there to help you rise to the top of your seniority list so stop compaining.
Is it hell! You spend far too long in the Coffeeshops; your brain is totally muddled. It is there to reassure an ignorant, whinging, whining public and a hounding, bullying, baying press that governments are doing "something" about threats from terrorism. Recent atrocities have shown that the vicious thugs who believe that they are fighting some religious cause are capable of planning and training to such an extent that any existing security can be bypassed. Unless we change our security systems and the knob-heads who run it, we are just counting the days until the next event.
