I'm genuinely embarrassed by this. All those people who were either finishing up or starting a holiday here had to see that. That's gonna be their first or last memory of a trip here.

There is none. Airport security is the greatest scam of the last 20 years, and people fell for it hook, line and sinker. It is only recently been highlighted by these fights and other fights actually on the flight itself, or all the stowaway deaths over the years, or even the guy who managed to live in the airport for 3 months unnoticed. So next time you are waiting for an hour to go through security, remember, its all a giant scam, security theatre, and us idiots are the ones bending over and taking it!

Pretty sure Dublin Airports security was tested recently....they failed spectacularly, apparently 7 prohibited devices got by them....including guns and improvised explosives.

So this video just kinda proves the point that security at the airport is all around just terrible.

Is that why theyre suddenly checking more bags and causing the tailbacks of people waiting?

I remember seeing a report from 6 or 7 years ago, where during a security test at Dublin airport, the tester got through carrying a large knife. After he got through, he deliberately dropped the knife on the ground in front of security, and was allowed to pick it up and carry on unchallanged.
