We too noticed the lack of observation at security at Dalaman. I went to get my mobile phone out and was told to leave everything in the case! We had an Easyjet flight to Gatwick. We too were stopped at a table set aside to check Speedy Boarders before getting on the plane. I was sent to one desk and my other half Paul to another. Unfortunately, he was carrying my hand luggage as mine was much heavier as I'm the one who has the camera, phone, tablet, speakers, so very heavy! The other case had keys, hats and light items that couldn't fit in the suitcase. On opening my case I was swiftly sent on my way as there was nothing to check. We had to get on a bus to the plane so I quickly boarded and looked back but Paul was still stuck at the desk.
He eventually made it onto the bus just before it was leaving. I had taken the precaution (as I usually do) of turning off all my equipment before boarding the plane. Unfortunately, Paul didn't have a clue about switching any of this equipment on and neither did the person examining them
He was eventually told to forget it and sent on his way. You would have thought an announcement that they were doing this check could have been made and I would have left everything turned on!!
If this equipment is such a threat to our security, there are lots of loopholes in the current system of checking at Dalaman Airport!
