Not being an octopus that presents a problem. So much for trying to speed up the process.

There are some lovely, friendly and helpful ones there who can spot that you are prepared but sadly they are few and far between.

The sooner the cancer booths are removed the better. It does make you wonder what provisions have been made for Employer Liability claims when staff start to develop tumors in a few years time.
Hahaha, so accurate about the 'take a tray' bit.

I am glad T3 is my regular terminal, as the x-rays are only used if you set off the regular metal detector or are randomly picked by it. Whereas at T1 I am sure they send everyone through them?
