Actually Bagso, I'm not sure it would be beneficial to redirect blame onto the extra security measures. That would still raise questions as to why MAN was effected if other airports were not. Yesterday's reports suggested there were longer queues at MAN while other airports including LHR & LGW were operating normally.
However, some additional facts in today's report might have been helpful, such as:
Were all security lanes staffed when the queues extended outside the terminal?
How long did the problem last - was it 05.00 to 07.00 or what?
How many security lanes and machines are there in T1?
Mind you, if the answer to the first question is "no", that begs the question "why not?"
I do agree though it wasn't great
PR and if passengers are alleging it took them nearly 2 hours to get through security it's somewhat meaningless advising folk to arrive 2 hours before departure. Some comment as to why it was exceptional or what steps were being taken to improve matters for the rest of the summer were needed rather than implying "look how busy we are, isn't it great"!
