Takes me 5-10 minutes to just get my luggage from the CT scanners, after going through the body scanners due to the inefficient system of people constantly shoving their trays in front of the people in front of them….

Would be faster if they just allow each person to pass all of their items through at once…..rather than the current system….

Sure, early morning arrivals with no one, I can get through in 10 minutes…..during regular high traffic flow, forget about it….

LHR just has a slow security screening set up…..no other way to sugar coat it…

The reason is some airports still use non CT scanners….you will see the same effect in the US, TSA precheck with regular X-ray luggage scanner lines going much faster than the new CT scanners that are slow as molasses.
