Oh I didn't know it has been that long, I just never paid attention before. I wasn't sure if it funnelled into it's own security area or not but I guess not.
On a side note, it didn't seem like they were enforcing the "HK Residents" requirement very strictly. I didn't have my HKID out and was never told to go in the other line.
