Thanks
Anyone transiting in Dubai goes through transit security. These days it’s usually quick as they have the new type scanners which allow laptops etc to stay in your hand luggage. Passengers already ‘mix’ with others from different destinations as soon as they exit the airbridge so the advantage of ‘safe security’ at origin disappears at that point.
