The luggage control at Brussels airport was an absolute disgrace and a humiliation. After the highly effective x-ray scanning of the bags and suitcases the over-zealous 'controllers' insisted on opened each and every bag and suitcase, and controlled every item they could find (including pyjamas, underwear etc). The decent and absolutely harmless middle-aged lady in front of me even had to undergo the humiliation of seeing the young 'show-offy' controller opening her wallet and purse, and then check with his fingers among the coins to see if there were no hidden explosives! Absolutely ridiculous and scandalous. My own shaving lotion and another (new) spray can were confiscated without mercy, although it represented no danger whatsoever. How much longer must the public put up with the harassment of these controllers whose senseless and prying luggage control serves no other purpose than to show off their 'authority', and which has absolutely nothing to do with safety? In Madrid the luggage control of my (same) luggage took three minutes, with an official looking at the x-rays of my suitcase and seeing that all was safe. Why can't the Brussels luggage 'controllers' grow up and not abuse their 'authority' to harass harmless travelers?
