I was NOT complaining about security for the deck, but the extremes they go through.
My OP had to do with an observation deck*...you can watch from a great distance, flights taking off and landing. [One does not have access to the flight boarding areas from this deck.]
My "complaint" was that that they had to X-Ray my
wallet**, even though it did not "beep" when his hand scanner passed over it.
My suspenders set off the "alarm". They should have given me the opportunity to remove them, then let me go through the metal detector again. [US TSA does.]
*A few planes do depart from an area near the OD, but at a considerable distance.
**I store my collapsible UZI in my 3"x3" wallet.
PS: About two years ago they used the E deck for flight observations, this did allow access to the terminals.
