Luckily I'm the worry-free guy that I am and just thought it was funny. But when I think of the fact that you don't have to go through security in places like LHR and someone could board a plane with a weapon in AUH and end up on a flight from LHR to JFK...
I few years ago, the passport inspectors at the DXB EK business class passport control were just waving people through without checking passports, except the Americans and Brits who were on my flight - we all had to stop and present our passports.
