It happened to me today and two weeks ago, and had to wait 15 minutes to go through security when it was done in just a breeze before.
Which means that fast lane at T2D is a nonsense.
That's somewhat idiotic, indeed, and of course defies the purpose. They also do that in T1 in some of the satellites, where the fast lane access merges with the "normal" line to finally access the same X-ray machines. But it at least the access to the X-ray machines is shorter, even if then one is mixed up with the "normal" lane. Who knows, maybe that is the "same access rights" principle. As a matter of fact everyone has same access right, at least for the final 2 meters
And it's not as bad as what I have recently experience at DXB during one of Emirates' hub times: they shuffled people from the "normal" line to the fully dedicated (i.e. no merge at any time) line, because "there are so many people". But that's *exactly* when you need a fast lane! Then again, security personnel wouldn't be doing that job if their capacity to think a little more were more developed.
