I've just returned home from a trip to Hong Kong on Emirates. We made a stopover in Dubai both ways.

The security in the First/Business check in area is pathetic. On both occasions, there was only one security agent, and he didn't really seem to be paying any attention. I walked through the metal detector, and it bleeped. He looked up at me and just waved me through.

I watched the next person, and the same thing happened.

A lady then came through, and again got a bleep. He made her take her shoes off and try again. Same bleep, but he let her go.

It needs to be looked at seriously before something bad happens.

Cheers,
Rick
