A and C, if as you say all the listed abuses occurred then I hope that you called the police. I would be very curious to know what the outcome was although these matters are of a very personal nature and would not be surprised if you choose to keep it to yourself.
As I have previously said, I agree with much of what you say. Your personal remarks are a generalisation and with all generalisations there will be some truth embedded. My objection is to the personal nature of your comments.
BAA airports not accepting each others passes is not limited to STN. I have had the exact same problem in reverse in LGW. It doesn't make sense to me either, but local rules apply and there is s*d all we can do about it.
I am sure we could all list many occasions when security have hacked us off, but to lump all security staff together as numpties engenders an unhelpful atmosphere of us and them which is unlikely to be helpful in easing our way through security or improving security in our lives.
That's it, Ive no more to say. Enjoy the debate.
