I commute from NCL and use the airport every week. I find security absolutely fine. I even leave my phone and tablet charger in my bags and haven't been asked to remove them once.
But, you're saying NCL needs more routes, but then say you avoid flying from there? How does that work?
I think people need to appreciate what they've got. And that's a small but well equipped airport that is being modernised with a wide range of direct destinations, little bit of long haul, many one stop connections available that does very well considering large part of the catchment area is either fairly sparsely populated or sea.
