You forget a lot of people travel HBO. My bag went to secondary screening because I left a can of deodorant in there. Totally my fault, hands up because it’s my same work bag that I use daily and I forgot it was there.

I had to wait 40 mins as they kept prioritising other bags and I asked to speak to someone was passed from pillar to post then told my feedback/complaint wasn’t valid as it was my fault I left the contraband in.i was fuming so tweeted Manchester Airport and they only sent mateyboy to the BA lounge that said they wouldn’t log my complaint. After an initial period of awkwardness we had a decent conversation. The problem is Manchester Airport are blind to criticism so no way it’s going to change. I’m told staff search is just as bad.
