Airport Security Checks (Part 1)

For reasons I won't bore you with, I have travelled through four UK airports in the last week or so.

In alphabetical order, those airports are:
  1. Durham Tees Valley (Teeside)
  2. Edinburgh
  3. London Heathrow
  4. Newquay
Now, see if you can match the following descriptions of my experiences of the security checks at each airport:
  • a) Hi-tech (digital photo taken, barcode placed on boarding pass). Small queues. Efficient.
  • b) Massive queue but well managed. Loads of tourists getting stuff confiscated. Grave danger of missing flight if extra time not allowed.
  • c) Ten Minutes from getting off bus to being in departure lounge. No queue. Efficient and effective.
  • d) Officious. Over the top. Plenty of staff.
I'll provide the answers in a day or so.
