But every time I'm passing through now I'm becoming increasingly disturbed by the attitude of the security staff, who seem to me to embody the worst and most unpleasant aspects of Danish bolshiness. Not only do they refuse to allow you to keep an eye on your possessions whilst wanding you, but on the last two occasions I have had screeners of both sexes put their hands inside my trousers at waist level in a way that I consider demeaning, offensive, and completely inappropriate. Am I the only one who is bothered by them treating airline passengers the same way that they treat their livestock?
The last time I transited in CPH from the USA continuing to ARN, there were twelve male screeners and no female screeners. I won't transit there again if I can possibly avoid and it's part of the reason I fly SK much less than in the past.
(It's also a pretty pathetic advertisement about Danish society and the role of women in the workforce...certainly I'd never consider applying for a job there.)
