If an entire security lane can be shut down for 15 minutes because there are so many bags that have to be searched before the line can start moving again, why do you find it hard to believe BDO interrogations could cause similar delays at the checkpoint?
Mats clearly referred to standing in line prior to TDC.
If you want me or anyone to believe that BDO questions - prior to TDC - caused "many people" missed their flights OR even that the MATS missed his/her flight because of BDO questions, then you require me to believe that a few things:
* BDO interrogation is mandatory (Please prove it is, if you believe it is)
* BDOs BLOCKED access of the ENTIRE LINE to TDC.
* A passenger COULD ONLY get to TDC after interrogation from BDOs
* Due to blocked of access, there was an empty space between TDC and BDO block point.
*Many large airports have BDOs.
*Many large airports report long wait times.
*
NO LARGE airports have placed the blame on BDOs.
It is not reasonable to suggestion that random interactions with BDOs in a line caused "many people" to miss their flights.
