What are they doing that is so "new" and slow? I'm sure the new
uniforms don't make them work slower, and once I got to the front of
the queue, they simply scanned my passport and had a quick gander,
exactly the same as every other time through immigration in the last
couple years. So why the wait?

You can't complain, I had to wait with a bunch of teenage "Goths" just
arrived from New York :-) Now that really was hell.

Mind you I can remember when customs could often mean half an hour with
a stroppy official going through your case. As I usually travel alone I
always seemed to get stopped. These days you never see anyone in
customs.

Is a no hassle EU walk through a good idea ? I'm sure the drug barons
think it's a wonderful idea.
