Even though it's always been around, only recently have I really taken a notice to airport security. With all my travels this semester (London, Munich, Frankfurt and Dublin), it's been hard to ignore, but I have noticed a few things.
Every airport I've traveled through seems to have similar, if not identical rules: take your shoes and coat off, put your change and keys in the bins and make sure your toiletries fit in the designated size bag and containers. How these standards are enforced, however, seems to vary greatly with each airport.
In Germany, I forgot to take off my ring and pocket watch necklace and take my liquids out of my carry-on, and didn't even get a second glance from security. When I accidentally left my jewelry on in the Dublin airport, I got sent back through the metal detector — twice — and wanded.
Horses for courses I suppose.
