Is there some sound security rationale, or merely another attempt at seeing just how much shit passengers are willing to accept, for connecting passengers being led out of the controlled arrivals area, so that they can walk 5 yards through an uncontrolled space[1] just so that they can spend half an hour in a queue[2] to go through security screening to enter the controlled departure space?

[3]These would be the liquids that were provided on the previous flight. Does that mean that an duty free purchases would also be ditched?

Because in the UK we accept anything with only the merest grumble, and if you were to complain you'd get whisked off under some anti terrorist legislation I'd think :)

It's not just T5 though. I was somewhere else recently, can't remember where[1]. Same story, off one flight, onto another but having to go through security/x-ray/frisk/shoes, belt, everything off/anal probe etc. I didn't have any liquids but noticed they all had to be dumped. So I've no idea what happens to stuff you may have bought on the plane.
[1] remembered. Hong Kong[2] [2] The old airport was much more fun.

It's the same at nearly all international hubs. Reason being that security requirements for ongoing international flights may be more, in some cases _musch_ more, severe than those carried out at the originating airport. For example we flew back from Turkey (with Air Turkey) last week, and were able to take fag lighters and liquids on the plane, and god knows what else, so clearly had we been connecting to an ongoing flight in Basel, or aywhere else, would not be in compliance with the new carrier's requirements.

Higgy should try Atlanta. In effect you go through two airports with the entire fucking process twice. It's a complete cunt.

why sell a product to someone once, when you can make a rule that allows you to sell the same product to them many times over? -- dog rsv1000rf two#5 pwcram#3

For me it's been SOP for a couple of years at least not to buy duty free until the last leg, for precisely this reason. It's the same in a lot of places. Fortunately the last leg usually starts in some European airport with a good choice of Scotch.

Hell yes! I flew out of Kai Tak the day before it closed. *Sniff*

That was a domestic flight. Its like a bus. They did have all of my belts etc when I went to see the folks off at Antalya, just to get into the airport. Not even to air side. It was all very amusing as my huge baggy shorts went south under the evil influence of gravity. :wq

Well the first one was, yes, but I was referring to the Istanbul-Basel flight as well.

Yeah, they had scannners set up at the entrance to Dalaman (domestic terminal) as well. No difference if you're travelling, of course, but just to get into the check=in area does seem a bit odd.
