This rant against Airport Security comes to us courtesy of the Grumpy Old Man:
Just the other day, I was travelling out of Georgie Best Belfast City Airport. After the usual extended queueing carnival I reached the security gate to discover I couldn't take my tube of toothpaste through without the required small square transparent bag. Fair enough.
"Can you give me a bag then?"
"No you have to go back out to the Information desk."
"So you don't supply any bags here."
"No you have to go back out to the Information desk and then join the back of the queue."
Frankly, that got my goat. In fact, I almost lost the bap.
Would it hurt to put up a sign to explain at the entrance to the queuing area, or dare i suggest, hang a few spare bags there so we can help ourselves?
You know at Gatwick Airport they employ half a dozen people, loaded with armfuls of small transparent bags, to shout their way up and down the length of the queue, helping to get the message through to the poor afflicted riff-raff.
