Airport security
My job means I have to go 'airside' at many airports a lot of the time - usually for a 15 minute job.

The over-enthusiastic security (although I have a full discosure Scotland security clearance) means that this 15 minute job is inflated to some 3 or 4 hours thanks to the fact I have to go through an initial security check, then be signed in and escorted everywhere.

I can understand that airlines need to vett their passengers in case there is a mad bomber among them, but FFS - I work in the industry, I see the same security guys week in, week out, I have passes for many UK airports - why do I need to waste half my working day tied up in security clearances?

*and breathe*
