It's certainly NOT OK at Manchester. I got told that I "could either co
operate or [they'd] have [me] arrested" (!). I pointed out that I had
fragile computer and photographic equipment (a laptop, a palmtop, three rolls
of Kodak film and my OM10) that were sensitive to Xrays. Despite the
"Passengers with photographic and/or computer equipment may request a hand
search" sign on the side of the baggage scanner, the security droid refused
to allow this to happen. In fact, he actually moved over and tried to cover
the sign on the side of the scanner (!)
So much for "the customer is always right"...
Later.
