I am not sure which one the Holideck is although it sounds interested. I was in one of the BA lounges in terminal 4.

People like that drive me nuts. Although I wear copious amounts of jewellery daily, I wear absolutely none when I'm getting on a plane - even the earring studs I otherwise never remove.

When we get there, take off my watch (which is very small and only rarely sets off detectors) & put it on the conveyor belt, and presto - I'm through.

I have occasionally *still* caused it to beep despite having no metal on my body as far as I know (unless you count fillings, of which I have two).

Exactly! Maybe we need to see if we can sell a training seminar or something.

Like: Duh !!!

Is there no one left on this planet that has not yet gotten the clue ????

Yes. I totally agree with you. excellent Rant !

The amount of moronism that I see....

And, don't the 17 family members that want to go out to the gate that crowd around the entrance to check-in making it impossible to get through ....

People that don't have their passport and ticket ready...

People that claim their luggage then clog the exit looking for the corresponding luggage receipt...

Oh Gosh ..... don't get me started as well..........

I have never set off the metal detector...it really is not that difficult.

You know that. I know that. But there seems to be way too many people that don't.

Hey, so how do I get a job like yours where I work all over the world?

I am an engineer and got this job straight out of uni. Other jobs I have seen that offer decent travel opportunities include international sales, accounting, legal, construction, UN agencies, diplomatic corps, teaching etc. The biggest pitfall is that I have no life so while there are many great things about my job, I do give up other things.
