The worst thing about all the increased security is that I can't bring a razor on these short trips unless I want to check my bag. That just slows everything up way too much. I guess I could consider an electric razor, but I never had any interest in one before.
I also don't understand why every passenger at Dublin Airport must remove their shoes and take the laptop out of the carrying bag, but at Stansted they make no one remove their shoes and leave laptops in the bag. Is Stansted using better equipment or just not as worried about security?
