There are no longer queues an hour long to get through security to check in

I did note that "5 men" on the "where's the worst queue" display meant
a wait of about 3-4 minutes if that. Thoroughly impressed. I've used
T5 at various times now and I never had to wait long.

Instead they have replaced this with a 2 mile long walk from your
arrival stand to immigration where there's an hour long queue to get
your passport checked (though the latter's also a problem the last time
I was at STN)

I've not flown into T5, but this seems to be an increasing problem.
It's a shame the biometric passports don't have fingerprint biometrics
- would be far quicker and easier to do the autogates that way, and you
could fit in far more of them in the space.
