Yeah, I read that. But you started this particular part of the debate, so speak up!
I see that the poster in question has a blog about aviation, on which there are no entries since 2011, and that most of his experience is US-based. Does that make him sacrosanct? Likewise, Spiff has a vested interest in disparaging any aviation security measures.
I stand by my opinion that, if they have not experienced security measures in the UK or Israel, they are not qualified to judge them.

Please take a second to read THIS POST.
However, I still maintain that, since he has no personal experience of UK security procedures, he is not qualified to judge them and so should not condemn them out of hand.

OK. Thank you. That explains a lot. I apologize unreservedly to N830MH for not understanding his difficulties and for criticising his English.

You see, there is no more reason why I should have obeyed your (unexplained) hint to back off than there was for you to do what I asked.
