Seeing as I am in the airport lounge at Heathrow and have just gone through airport security twice in the last three hours it is time for me to bitch about airport security again.
Women: When you are going on an airplane, it is not the proper time to wear your belt with the buckle that would make a Texan proud, nor is it the time to wear a belt with 20 industrial grade grommets. Any good impression you might make with your fashion sense is completely wiped away by the frustration of having to wait in line behind you. Large gaudy pieces of metal jewelry are probably bad too.
Men: Remove your heavy metal watch before you attempt to go through the magnetometer.
I still feel there needs to be a better queuing system for getting through airport security. This idea would probably not work but I would love to have a queue specifically for people who are confident they can go through without beeping. If you beep you have to pay an on the spot $£€10 penalty. If I can go through 95% of the time without beeping then others can do it too. It is not rocket science people.
Otherwise, it is off to Denver I go.
