Ritual Humiliation - Update.

I recently posted about just how horrific - not to mention how insane it is going through to have your pockets and hand luggage checked at Manchester Airport. 

I am glad to report that the Spanish authorities who monitor passengers flying out of Alicante are at least five times quicker and definitely more efficient. Their system is straightforward and effective.
Conclusion: I shall only use Manchester airport if I really have to in the future but Alicante gets my vote every time!
