Hi All,
Got off the 976 from BKK last night after arriving (yet again) at A19 in T3. Not only thrilled to bits with the longest walk to immigration and bag collection in the whole of Changi, I was greeted with the all too familiar sight of the dreaded queue for "the extra security inspection for your safety" fiasco that seems to greet me 2 out of 3 flights on average that I take from Bangkok on the same flight.
This time, I got fed up with the usual, "we are only doing what we are told to do" by the security personnel and tracked down an "official" to get the real story. His answer was that the Singapore Government are on the look out for knuckle dusters and flick knives from Thailand!!!!
Please tell me that this is a joke. Is anyone in the know as to what the hell these people are really looking for and why (in my case anyway), it only seems to happen on ex BKK flights. It also happens in T2 as well.
