What's the underlying difference which causes a typical European security check to be swift (I don't remember spending more than 5 minutes on a security control for ages) and the TSA one to be awfully long?
- dasil003 10y agoIn China they fool you into thinking it's going to go quick by being low-tech with relatively spartan cordoning, and just a nondescript agent at a metal table. Then suddenly and unceremoniously they dump all your shit out everywhere and wave you through while moving onto the next person, leaving you to spend 10 minutes repacking everything. (Maybe this is only for foreigners though).
