Isn't that the same at all airports? At least I'd hope so...

(Okay, perhaps not disciplinary action, but the idea behind it)

I believe the g4s are trained at or near Man and hence the staff are under constant HQ scrutiny

+1 on this, last time it was my Anker power pack they wanted to re-screen, maybe technically my fault if they have a local rule I was unaware of, but I've never had to separate that at any other airport in the world.

It was through there yesterday morning and it was as busy as I have seen it although I felt the staff were working very hard to deal with the numbers.

What I never understand is why there is surprise on the part of those running security at the numbers which, with a bit of forethought and effort, are entirely predictable throughout the whole day.

As we have diverged some considerable distance from anything to do with BA, we’ll close the thread at this point.

Members who wish to continue to share their experiences of security at MAN might wish to do so in an existing thread in the UK & Ireland forum: Oh the joys of Manchester security....
