Security at Dalaman
« on: June 25, 2017, 18:33:56 PM »
I would estimate that approximately half the passengers were sitting at the gate for our flight home when it was cordoned off and those inside invited to stand outside the gate.

Security tables and equipment then appeared and everyone was given another security check which consisted of a passport check against the passenger list, a body search and a fairly thorough hand luggage search.

Now I am all for security, but if something had been found at this stage, surely that would mean that all the previous checks were superfluous.

We were lucky arriving 4 hours early we missed all the coaches coming in.  However, had a pat down at the entry and bag search and turn on phone and open purse and make up bag.  Then another bag search at customs and another pat down an the guy went through my purse.  Then at Departure Lounge another pat down (I was getting to like it by then) and search of my bag. 
I suppose they are not taking chances. I did some some vaping stuff being taken from someones bag at the last search, so only thing I can say, it must have been missed at the other two searched.  If these searches are keepin us safe.  I will be happy.  ;)

Unless the security check I described is being undertaken at every gate for every flight then the other searches are clearly not keeping us safe because things appear to have been missed at the first two.

They have cordoned off the boarding gates for quite a time now,
and I don't see any problem of of being searched again. just a few minutes hand luggage
I suppose they are making sure, because a lot of people are confused about computers/exc.

someone else may be able to confirm this but I got the impression that all the international flights were having the extra departure gate checks but Turkish internal flights (as they are sharing the terminal at present).

I was told that maybe we might know someone who works in the airport who could give us something to blow the plane up.  (Manchester airport security staff)

Life would be so boring without the moaners to keep us entertained.  :)

Hopefully airport staff are subjected to rigorous security checks as well.
