I have. Very different experience than in the US.

There was no punitive comprehensive bag search out of my sight, accompanied by a full grope. Instead, while the bag was right there on the belt, the screener verified it was my bag, opened it, glanced at the xray and pulled the bottle of water.

Then the screener offered me the bottle of water, asking if I wanted to drink it first, right there, or just give it up.

So civilized. So much faster than a similar encounter in the US generally is.
