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...
a friend of mine was in Bangladesh, and the security guy let a passenger with a "wrapped present" cut the line, and not inspect the box, for the equivalent of 20 cents (USD)...as my friend put it "that coulda been a baby!"
