I cannot understand why Airport security has lines and lines of queue for people but then only distributes the x-ray buckets right next to the machine.

This means that everyone has to undress and unpack everything while standing infront of the machine. On the other side, you have to return your bucket within a few feet of the x-ray and metal detectors, resulting in everyone hopping around trying to get their shoe on while holding their trousers up and trying not to drop their duty free - what a nonesense.

Instead, you should have x-ray buckets distributed at the beginning of the queue, with a canteen style slide all the way to the x-ray. Afterwards, you should have several tables, out of the way, to allow people to get dressed again without blocking the screening area.

This would result in much much quicker screening, and a more relaxed, flowing process for passengers.

Simple really.
