I know it's more of the same, but having 2 luggage & body searches at: Gatwick, 3, yes, 3 at Cincinnati and a further 3 at Atlanta en-route to Albany (including, in the US having an inductance rod pushed down the front of your trousers, by someone clearly not a proctologist or urologist) in full public view, with the last 2 in secure areas smacks of a certain over-enthusiasm. Of course to possess a single carrier ticket - presumably meant that the "search him" computer record being carried over probably contributed. So for me, air travel has become too much hassle. I've replaced nearly three quarters of my business trips with videoconference. It may be a cr*p way of interacting, but it beats the humiliation of the inductance rod.
And you wonder why the revenues of the flag carriers is in free-fall. Honestly folks, what we need here is a global review of security and procedures conducted by specialists in the field of aviation, military and counter-terrorism and decidedly light in burocrats and politicians.
