And I agree with everything negative that has been said about the security. On both occasions my bag was sent for secondary inspection: the first time because I had left my compact camera in it (something that had never been a problem at any other airport and has never been since) and the second time, well, just because. On both occasions the staff were slow and rude.

Awful airport.
