This is what happened - there was SSSS on my bp. He looked at it quite thoroughly and presumably saw the SSSS (or so I thought) and gave the BP back. The g/a saw that it wasn't marked and marched me right back.
Cheers,
He may have been nice, but he didn't do his job, which resulted in you having to leave the gate and march all the way back to security to receive your secondary screening.
Also the effectiveness of the secondary was greatly reduced as you had already entered the sterile area and could have stashed the prohibited item that would have been found during secondary somewhere in the sterile area. If secondary screening wasn't such a joke, I would be upset that this breach of security occurred.
