Glasgow Security Arch
Through GLA tonight, everyone was ushered under a seemingly innocuous arch before joining the line for bag and body security but after the boarding card check.. It has a tiny sign telling us it's not doing a few things but I wonder, does anyone know what it's for?
Explosive sniffer?
Explosive sniffer?
If there was nozzles like the aircon in the plane & a minimum wait time under it then, probably yes. If it was walk straight through, then probably an electronic scanner of some sort.
Hmmmm, I wonder if someone's managed to work up a practical version of my idea of "pinging" for certain chemicals & listening for the right combination of peaks in the responses at key resonant frequencies?

Nope straight through. I could see everyone was curious and slowing down for a wee look but it had deliberately been set up to be discrete with a tiny little notice, also unstaffed it seems but I bet CCTV'd to the hilt.
A little underhand I felt to be scanned in such a way by something I know not what without even being asked. I bet some of the Americans might object.

It's been there for months and from what I can see is not yet operational. Glasgow is suffering a severe passenger downturn so maybe the airport is looking down the back of the sofas for a few bawbees to hook it up?

We're still having to undress....

Independent security analyst Paul Beaver has welcomed the latest developments which he says will do away with the 'indignity' of removing shoes and belts.
