Do you think Security at Dalaman airport is a good thing?

I thought it was but now I am doubtful.........Having just spent a great month in Calis we arrived early at Dalaman third in the queue at  Bag drop straight through passport control only to find our flight to the UK was delayed so sat in the balcony watching security check every one from babies to wheelchair bound.  When all had boarded their plane the security team picked up all their equipment and moved on.  So far so good but then at same gate next flight arrives and people start boarding their plane with NO SECURITY CHECKS AT ALL.
That really makes a mockery of the system as that is the flight where there could be a problem!

Perhaps they just don't trust you Brits.

A friend who was travelling back to Newcastle two weeks ago said that her backpack (her only luggage) was completely emptied and searched. She was patted down and told to moth her pockets.  She said they were very thorough and weighed her backpack too.

Was the second flight to the UK as it's U.K. flights that have the extra checks

The additional security was on the return to the UK.

 Moths are common.  I like to have a butterfly in each of my pockets when I travel.

Yes the second flight was to the UK.  On another gate later we got the treatment my bag contained two cameras but only one was looked at.  A large single lens reflex in a case wa not looked : at
