It was horrible!
The fact that they can't multitask.
The fact that while unpacking a passengers bag, all others have to wait.
The fact that instead of admitting something is wrong with THEIR machine, they pull apart your stuff, and then highlight to you how the lip balm from the airline should be placed seperately into a transparent bag.

Data point: this was at 6:15am in the morning. No queue at all.
It took us 40mins to clear. So basically from putting our stuff on the Xray conveyor to repacking our dissected bag, took 40mins!! (because we had to wait for pax in front of us to go through police supervision luggage checks, and then it was us).
