Wondering why they have a policy to provide free check in for umbrellas (over 30cm) then heard patrons away from cover in the midst of a thunderstorm.
Then have paying customers line up in the rain to have them open their small handbags to security (in very little light) and have water bottles emptied in bins with instructions to find the one water station inside to re-fill them.
I understand security measures but there are better ways to respond to risk than to treat your paying patrons in this way. 99.9999999999999% are just that. Benign paying customers. Maybe hand out a bottle of free water to anyone who would like one, inside. No drinks (incl cans) to be brought in. Surely the price we pay will cover a 99c bottle of water.
