Gatwick last week.

travell to Marseilles and back last wednesday/thursday - interesting experience being 1st time on easy jet and under version 5 of the new security regs. Queued 2.5 hours at easyjet, although i had only handluggage (very small bag) and no liquids. Then passed through main security a breeze really (10 minutes tops) except the slowest part of the queue was getting through teh pre-checkers , who were taking chewing gum off you!
Coming back through Marseilles, plane was 1 hour late arriving, it then took an hour to board because the Marseilles airport authorities had decided on a final extra search of handluggage. My boss lost both his toothpaste ( he had bought airside at Gatwick + the tolietries he nicked from the Hotel we were staying in. The extra security check meant we missed the slot much to chagrin of the captain. arrived back at gatwick 2.5 hours late.
