This is certainly not a big deal, but I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience at FRA.
There are even differences between scanners in Frankfurt. When I fly to the UK, I go to through the primary security check (with my belt still on) and no buzz, then at secondary security they make me take of my belt and the scanner will buzz. No you would think that this might be due to tightened security for UK flights, but I even had it the other way around.
I guess it just depends on how the scanners are calibrated.
