T5 security screening -- just like the BAA and dft insecurity idiocy that make transiting LHR T5 the shambles it is -- needs to get fixed. At least the forced shopping mall experience has some rational justification unlike the forced insecurity screening experience that makes transiting LHR even worse than it has to be.

Spiff, you are right -- the dft and BAA security screening nonsense about liquids and the like really needs to come to an end because it is just a expensive, time-consuming distraction built upon the ridiculous. Along with that, there are a growing number of BAA screaming security screeners who need an attitude adjustment and probably wouldn't demonstrate a loss of functional intelligence if subjected to a lobotomy.
