This. No barking and shouting, no expensive video screens and over-priced custom glass cabinets of 'do not take items', often a far greater number of folks who don't know the local language - yet somehow the lines consistently move more quickly and without the cumbersome disrobe/unpack/confiscate routine we go through here in the US. No one targeting black folks' hair (and bald scalps) for a rubdown, no freaking out over breast milk.

And everyone, not just people who pay extra, get that treatment.
