I have flown through more airports globally than I can name, and by far Edinburgh Airport security has been the most off-putting. Rather than making things safer, the carryon baggage search at Edinburgh Airport is at the point of being silly. Other airports across the globe abide by regulation restrictions on liquids, but at Edinburgh Airport even the regulation sizes are treated with suspicion and tested. This includes the vanity sets which airlines give customers to fly with, this includes mascara and an individual eye drop vial (which is only a few ccs and is less than one small spoonful). Never before had I seen a flight attendant have their carry on luggage inspected with a fine tooth comb. I don’t think Edinburgh Airport security genuinely believed any of these things or myself or the flight attendant were of risk (I have a Global Entry security clearance myself). After spending 20 minutes going through my carry on bag and finding nothing in violation of regulations, the security officer pointed to the handbag on my shoulder which had already been X-rayed and had already passed security and asked about the contents of the handbag.The security team does their job with no accountability, no supervisor we can complain to, and they can and do get away with playing childish power games which waste time, are off putting and serve no purpose in making the airport any safer. This was my first visit to Scotland. Nothing in my personal profile makes me a suspicious person. I have always been a peaceful, law abiding person who enjoys traveling, but I will choose never to fly through Edinburgh Airport again. It’s just not worth it.
