Thanks guys. Sorry I allowed myself to be wound up here last night... it really was meant to mostly be a report (but of course I was also directing my frustration here - I'm sure most people would have felt a little rattled by it).
Clearly they had to be new on that run to have not encountered scanners at Shep's Hill before, and there probably is something to be said for the G20 theory - a combination of those two factors is certainly a plausible explanation for them being a little heavy handed, but with a little more distance from the event now I can reflect that at least they learnt something from it and I gave them no reason to form a negative attitude towards spotters.
