Lagos security is all about show, not action. They took my water bottle, but I was later informed that I could have avoided that result with some grease

Of course, that begs the question as to exactly how much is a bottle of water worth?
In general I was impressed with Lagos security, though the gate rape was unnecessary. But again, it is all for show, as LOS was forced to beef up the process after being put on the danger list in the 90s.
