Going through manchester airport yesterday, just before the metal detector i took everything metal out of my jeans and put it into my jacket, took off my belt, put it all through the x-ray machine and walked through the metal detector which didnt go off. i was walking over to get my bag when i was asked to step aside to be patted down. it was weird i thought. whats all that about?
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

Randon checks. Every x amount of people get stopped and searched. Had the same as a staff member in the 3 major london airports. Always subject to randon checks. You just got used to it![]()
Usually they ask me, "Is that a gun in your pocket?" before I get the pat down.Originally Posted by Ruairi

I think its cause i was wearing a gaa jersey, they must have thought i was a redneck yokel intent on brining down the "foreign" game from within

me not having "eaten" one yet, but you having had plenty.
They advise that you dont travel with wraped presents now. I was always a bit surprised at how easy it was to build up trust with the security folk. As a result, im never shocked by all the newspaper undercover stories about reporters posing as workers etc. A different worldOriginally Posted by Tuff Paddy

Everybody was made take off their shoes when I was heading through security in Dublin airport on Sunday morning. Thing there's a bit of over-reaction to that EU spot test thing that happened their the other week. Coming back through Heathrow was nothing compared to it.
