Been travelling 39 years with God knows how many flights from God knows how many airports. No two airports are ever the same when it comes to security. I find that after check in, I organise myself as follows. Empty all pockets of all metallic objects. Put in travelling holdall. Take off watch. Switch off mobile and put in travel holdall. Open section of holdall with computer inside and sit the laptop vertically. Go to security, note what others are doing re: Shoes and belts and follow suit. When it's my turn, place computer in try, put shoes in separate tray and if required put in belt. put travel bag on belt to be x-rayed. Go through personal detector, smile when it doesn't go ping, go to collect my belongings - re-dress belt and shoes, replace computer in travel bag and again smile at the security boys and girls.
Waking away to immigration, privately curse and swear that if I was ever to meet any of the terrorist bastards who have made this routine necessary then I'll make sure that they will be emasculated and will be singing like an insipient soprano for the rest of his puff.
No such place as the Scilly Isles. Isles of Scilly or Scilly is fine but the Scillonians go ape if you say it as you did.
