Then they take you to the normal security, you cut the queue, but they proceed to a more thorough search of the hand luggage.

The only part that is really annoying is the wait at the check in desk. In my case, it took three phone calls by the check in agent and nearly 30 minutes before the person turned up! The rest was just mildly boring and rather pointless but no issue at all.
