Lounging Around

Here I am in the departure lounge in Terminal 2, Manchester Airport. Unfortunately the place is still in the middle of a refurbishment but after heading down a few blind alleys I eventually got coffee, a croissant and a seat. The place is quite busy. Boarding for Philadelphia in just under an hour.

Just a thought on post 9-11 airport security. Very thorough at Manch, got asked the usual questions:
  • Is this your bag?
  • Did you pack it yourself
  • Where has it been since you packed it?
  • Any electrical items?
  • Did anybody else give you anything to pack?
etc.

A Contrast at Dayton though.
  • Are you carrying any firearms?
No.

" OK Put your bag on the belt sir!"

This time at Dayton it was "Any firearms or films?"...

I think it is very poor that Manchester did not even ask you your weapon of choice. Personally I don't know why they ban knives on flights, after all they let women with deadly 9 inch stiletto's on

All My Rss

Move your mouse over the picture for action!
