There is no confusion, these are the rules.

If we didn't have rules, where would we be ? France !

If we had too many rules, where would we be ? Germany !

I travelled on 18 June and it was the same for us. They cordoned off a section of the downstairs departure area but they didn't give any explanation so people were confused. They checked passports, boarding passes, patted people down and searched hand luggage.  Some people had swabs taken of their hand luggage to check for explosives.  I wonder if the Turkish government realise how lax checks are for people travelling from the UK to their country.  OK, because of the close proximity to Syria, they do have to be security conscious butmany people are put off by the lack of information and have vowed not to return to Turkey.

If a lack of information at an airport puts someone off returning to that country then, to put it bluntly, they are a complete tit.

That'll ruffle a few feathers.

We were "subjected" to the same check at the Gate as we were in June.

Everyone told to leave the gate which was then cordoned off while scanning machines were set up.

The first ten or so passengers to go through had their boarding cards checked, were then frisked and were asked to empty their hand luggage.

When it came to our turn, the official took a cursory glance at our boarding cards and waved us through.

Can someone please, please explain the logic in that to me.

Sometime after returning to our seats, which were some distance from the security check area, I needed to pay a visit to the loo. Guess what -  the very same official who had waved my through sent me back to get my boarding card before she would allow me access to the loo which was outwith the cordoned off area. Perhaps she was taking the &^%£.

Perhaps they didn't think you looked clever enough to have hidden anything.  :)
