MAN is no different from any other UK or overseas airport & have experienced lengthy wait times at security at other airports. Space is at a premium in T3 security area and the terminal as a whole. I agree that a new solution is required by MAG.
I always purchase Fast-track, sometimes I could have saved £5 but rather not take the risk.
Most queue problems are caused by those who don't follow the rules on hand baggage items because their trays are rejected and this causes the system to back-up, usually by people who don't fly that often. As a regular flyer I know what I'm doing before I reach the tray loading area, my belt, shoes & jacket are off etc etc from my own observations it is those who fly infrequently are usually the culprits. I think there needs to be more information & guidance issued when you check-in whether this is online or at the desk.
Perhaps more visual displays, tabled areas to prepare items and greater supervision before you enter the queue.
