When I',m flying to UK I always wonder if there are so many first timers, or people are so ignorant. In Germany I never seen so many people have to open the bags after the scan, and have them re-scanned.

This is the reason I opt to pay for TSA PreCheck (in the US, obviously). Not because it saves hassle (though it certainly does that), but because it pretty effectively filters out first timers.

Well not Germany, but the average American flies ~1/yr so yes the terminal is full of first time fliers effectively.
