I used to find the security routine easy pre COVID.
Since I returned to travel the huge increase in Body Scanners has caused me to change my routine.
Metal Detector Security
It used to be simple:
- Have a belt with a plastic buckle
- Already have coins, gold chain, pens, phone and keys in my jacket pocket which went through the X-ray machine.
Body Scanner Security
Now anything denser than the the clothes you are wearing is treated as suspicious.
Which Means:
- No Belt, but pants withan elasticated waistband
- Absolutly everything out of my pockets (including tissues)
It now works fine for me. . . but as my wife has a replacement knee she still gets stopped for a detailed search.
