  It wasn't that someone had installed a light switch and they couldn't find it....they just didn't a have a switch. > "It has to do with the fact that we haven't progressed far enough with our lighting system that we can control it," Horst Amann, airport technical director, said on Wednesday during a rare public appearance.

    The equivalent of a fancy UI demo rigged up over a minimally functional backend.

      Isn't it more like functional backend with no UI?

        I meant to equate the lighting with the UI. To a casual user (a traveller) everything looks fine and probably pretty fancy, but a lot of the more intricate functionality simply isn't there yet.

    They had to have circuit breakers though.

  Hm. How did they switch it on then?
