You should try flying to the USA with a Muslim friend like I did. We were treated like Jack the ripper. All we were doing was going to see a boxing match.

I travel to the US around 3-4 times a year and whilst there also take internal flights and I must say I've always found security checks ok - yes there are occasionally queues but hey that's what you get with air travel nowadays. Flying down from Denver to Tampa in January I flew United and was pleased that my boarding pass was printed with a TSA pre-check which meant a much easier passage through security. I asked the guy why I didn't get this flying over on BA from Term 5, he said that BA hadn't joined the scheme. Pity, it makes life easier.

Homeland Security within America has grown crazy. I have two sides of my opinion to all of this. The reality is that the modern world of terrorism has significantly changed the face of travel forever. I understand why they have measures in place to help with security as they do. However, there is also the fact that America has lost its way. Homeland Security isn't much different than the SS was for Germany during WWII. The only thing America needs is a leader with a funny mustache. I like to call it the United Soviet States Of AmeriKa. I am certain to have someone probing my brain and tapping my electronics after this.

ours is currently a joke, was pinged at Frankfurt on Monday for shoes.. very sensitive machines those Germans have.. coming back to T1 Tuesday same old story. IRIS gates turned off (funding cut so they are shutting it)
Bio scan passport gates, only 1 out of 3 working (handy hint get in the queue even if you don't have one and you just say oh not working and get bypassed to the human on the other side, saved me 20 mins in the queue)
Normal desks only 4 people on at 19.00 massive queue shameful.
