The security process at Terminal at London Stansted Airport can be quite chaotic, but with some preparation, it can be navigated efficiently. Expect to spend around 45 minutes during normal operating hours, so plan accordingly. Be sure to use the far left lanes where the new scanners are located; these allow you to keep your liquids in your bag for quicker passage. Remember to remove scarves, chunky shoes, and coats before you reach the conveyor belt to streamline your experience.

Chaotic but it somehow works. Be prepared and you'll be fine - this means taking off scarves/chunky shoes/coats etc. If you use the new scanners and prepare, you should be through fairly quickly.
Can take around 45 minutes during normal operating hours. Your best bet would be to aim to gates located on the right hand side next to that fast pass lane.
