Everyone knows that BAA are nudgers - why give them even the tiniest excuse to cause you hassle?

They regretted making me take my shoes off yesterday (which pretty much amounts to harrassing me, as I'm staff) - weren't expecting me to be wearing big sweaty patrol boots Search that, Mo'fo!

Correctamundo!

I get my airside pass on Friday, can't claim it until I get my warrant card on Thursday - after that it should be fairly random. Silly sods don't realise half their managers used to work for me - I must remember to make a phone call or two next time I get stick from one.....

The system is ludicrous though - my colleague was picked up on having a camera (when the terminal is awash with holiday makers who have them) while I was standing next to her USING my mobile phone with a superior camera on it! You will be stopped for carrying a bottle of coke - in case it's actually a hugely powerful binary explosion - but can quite cheerfully stroll through with any amount of home-made food or microwave ready-meals, all of which can contain large amounts of liquid!

The logic of searching UKBA staff is a bit fuzzy too - we're badged/warranted government officials - the very people that allow/authorise BAA to search people in the first place!

Ho-hum.

You had much experience of parking your bike at T3, Sick? I'm being told the only bike park is 1A, but not taken the time to go and scout it out - any idea how busy it gets?

Last time I flew, it was off with the boots and belt... Maybe they thought I was a suicide risk...

Only ever fly to Belfast really, now I take the ferry. Flying is rubbish now.

Around 2002 I was flying from Schipol and set off the alarm so was asked to take off my belt and shoes. Herr bawbag sticks his hand in my shoes and asks (a bit pannicky), "what are these wires?" I said, "shoelaces"

Numpty

A lad from my school was going skiing with some of his mates and was flying from Doncaster airport.

When his shoes were being examined he calmly said "watch out for the grenade".

Essentially he got a life ban from both the airport and the airline

Meanwhile the government tell us because of their war on terror we've never been safer... Oh hold, no we're not, if we were we wouldn't need ID cards...

Basically, our state of safety is predicated by what the government wants to push through parliament that week.

I hate airports too, especially civilian security people. They're like ignorant door staff on special self-important jobsworth steroids.

There was another story about a Scandinavian guy who complained (https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7440693.stm) about having to remove his belt. This guy wasn't joking about what he did have, he was telling them what he didn't have...

Its gotten a bit silly when words are banned.

Airport security guard: "Hello sir have you got a you-know-what in the bag?"
Traveller: "Excuse me?"
Security cretin: "A you-know-what. A thingy, its got cables and sometimes they tick..."
Traveller: "Oh a bomb you mean?"
Cretin: "Right sir, you're under arrest for saying you-know-what in an airport, quick march now..."
