And with all due respect Hotel Tango... you obviously don't know very much about how a business actually operates.
About six weeks was my last flight from BHX with an 8am departure and I didn't encounter any real problems. Perhaps you've just been unlucky, or maybe just not the most tolerant of people who knows?
You seem surprised to find Security and Passport lanes out of action. That's because the airport is managing it's resources to meet the current demand. So if, hypothetically, one security lane can manage 200 passengers in 1 hour and there's 2,000 passengers to come through, they'll need 10 security lanes open. If in the following hour there's only 1,000 passengers, they only need 5 open. It's not rocket science and it's called... wait for it...... "Efficiency".
The airport is not going to just stop growing or suddenly invest millions in infrastructure (whether it be security lanes, seating areas etc.) when the problems you encounter are on the whole manageable or non-existent. The airport will work with a lot of people to manage their growth properly, it's not just a free-for-all for airlines to come in as and when they like.
Unfortunately, like it or not, the days of state owned airports with quality services and quality infrastructure to the extent that becomes a somewhat drain on the taxpayer, in the UK at least, are long gone. Either get over it, or fly from different airport... but don't expect many of them to be much better!
EDIT... Finally bhx bod, someone who is talking some sense.
