Is schengen security always awful? I went through a few weeks ago and it was a zoo to put it mildly. Nobody was controlling the lines and security was incredibly slow. Thought maybe it was labour action for a moment. There ended up being a borderline riot/stampede. People started pushing through the line from the back so they wouldn't miss their flight. Those of us with young kids in tow had to make sure they weren't trampled. I ended up flagging down the Polizei but even they didn't seem to do anything about it. People were yelling at the security screeners. Overall, a very ugly situation and one that will make me try to avoid this airport in the future.

And this was the security line for business and first!

The worst part was that the guy who started the whole ordeal who was going to "miss his flight" was spotted in the LH panorama lounge by my wife three hours later!
