    People love to complain about airport security, they are a right bunch of power tripping idiots without a single ounce of common sense. Now I havn't been on a flight in ages because the Celtic Tiger ain't roaring for me no more but to those who still have the few bob to spare what would you do if ..

    You arrive at the airport and the security section has been completely removed. Walk straight to the gate where there is a gobshíte weighing your bags hoping to get a juicy €40 fine out of you if it's Ryanair you're flying with and a nice byor at the desk checking passports and letting people straight onto the plane.

    Do you chicken out because the dark skinned lad with a beard could have a 10kg homemade bomb in his case or do you get on anyway because sure feck it nobody would want to blow up a plane anymore anyway? I would probably just get on.. but I'd be keeping an eye on the fella with the beard

    You arrive at the airport and there is no security do you .. 28 votes

    You Corkonians are in no position to judge others.

    How would you feel if people thought you were going to copy Neil Prenderville :P

    People will be able to run onto the plane without any consideration for their fellow passengers at a quicker rate

    I'd whisper 'I have a bomb' behind people queueing up.

    Any way at all, I paid for the ticket, wherever the plane is going I'm damn well going with it.

    Only if you look like you could pass for someone from the middle east. Nice tan, broken English, speak a cupla focal of Arabic on the phone to someone while you're in the queue

    The rules shouldn't be there in the first place though. I guess its easier to have a go at the idiots in the queue than to agitate for the rules to be changed so I can't really blame you for taking the easy way out.

    I went through the security checks in Manchester tonight in less than 5 minutes.. I can put up with the inconvenience if it means the plane doesn't happen to fall out of the fucking sky in mid-air because someone has decided to smuggle a weapon (something more serious than a beard tbh :P ) and shoot the pilot......
