I have used my driving licence and passes I hold for other airports. I think BHX have got it a#se about face. Go into security, have boarding pass and ID checked. Put them away securely for later. Remove coat, laptops and empty pockets to go through X-ray. Then have a demand to check boarding pass again. So retreave case remove boarding pass and ID, but all they want to see is boarding pass. Fail to see the point and no point query with security as they are getting stressed as the queue is getting longer. Put boarding pass away go through X-RAY and all is good.
Having allowed plenty of time, due to the random obstacles thrown up in the line of duty, I have time to buy and read a paper. At check out demand to see boarding pass. Polity said it is packed away. Net result no pass no paper.....
