What a load of bollox. Exactly why are they not entitled to it? If you use the airport facilities you play by their rules. If HAL or CAA or whoever require it as part of monitoring to improve service then so be it. Life is too short to get all pompous.

Maybe it is simply used for timing purposes from entering security to arriving at the scanner to give HAL advance warning when the time taken is starting to increase? To be able to better predict pax flows through security and deploy more resources accordingly? Gosh, how incredibly sinister is that, am petrified
