Traffic queues into Dalaman - allow time.

Arthur from Fethiye Lovers posted that the queue to get into Dalaman airport last night was over 2k due to security.
May be worth checking pick-up times if you are due to leave soon.

Yes 2 kilometres of traffic waiting to get into the airport - that would have the old blood pressure racing. Surely the flights would either have to be held or they would be leaving nearly empty.

Also an ideal opportunity for a terrorist attack.

All they've done is to move their perceived problem outside of the airport perimeter.

I believe in Israel they check the cars five miles from the airport and then at intervals after that..

Lots of security going on when we left a couple of weeks ago. Vehicles being stopped and mirrors checking underneath them. Its bound to cause a tailback.

Positive profiling would be a start.

Tattooed, beer bellied, loudmouthed, football shirt wearers aren't very likely to be Muslim terrorists. Neither are their husbands.  ;)  ;)

Less time spent checking them would move things along.

They were stopping cars and checking underneath with mirrors, questioning drivers etc when we left mid May so presumably they've increased the security since the Istanbul airport bombings last week. It didn't cause any problems for us then but it will be busier now so unfortunately it's something we'll all have to put with.
