Airport Security ~ Sing Style

OK ~ from the time I left my hotel in Singapore till I arrived home ......... 28 hours. The flight was long but not uncomfortable. Flying Singapore Airlines "Raffles" Class isn't all that bad. Singapore's Changi Airport is the most modern and clean airport you will ever encounter. I would consider this airport to be the ideal model of efficiency. Checking in is quick and effortless. The terminals are very open and well lighted. Each gate area is surrounded by glass walls and has its own scanners and security system. Guests can accompany the passengers to the gate and wait outside until the gate is opened. 1 hour prior to departure the scanners are manned by security personnel and passengers are screened ~ not only by an electronic scanner, but each passenger is then hand wanned prior to gathering their belongings. They manage to completely board a Boeing 747 in less than 30 minutes and push away from the gate.
