Barcelona airport - slow security ?

Hello,

In my country (Sweden and elsewhere that i have read, Amsterdam, London) there are problems with long lines at the security checks at airports.

I have tried to read Elpais, lavanguardia to see if the same problem is at El Prat but havent seen that many news storys.

So how is the situation ar Barcelona airport? To compare with Arlanda/Stockholm. The departures hall has some times been closed because fire dapartment says too much people in there. Trains to the airport doesnt stop sometimes at airport because too crowded with people. Time trough security have for some apparently been up to 2-3 hours.

I just want to know if me arriving at departure 3 hours before should be ok. Im flying home on a weekday morgon (that might be better than a weekend), and will buy fast track if possible.

As you can read the situation at our main airport is a bloody mess and makes me wonder about the situation at Barcelona.

Breezed through security and passport control two weeks ago at Barcelona airport. It can always be hit or miss at any airport and there are lots of people traveling...which is good news but it can be mean longer lines.
