If your bag is selected for secondary search it looks as though you can kiss goodbye to any time spent in the shops or lounges so must cost them money?
That's not my experience of T3. Usually get through at 0715 without too much of an issue (other than the FastTrack being slower then the standard queue due passengers with
all luggage crammed into hand baggage - fishing out liquids and laptops causes the delay).
Agree on the shouting though.
