However, the route after leaving the aircraft headed towards passport control, but I think I turned right and went down a level (towards 'transfers' as per the Wiki link)? There were several of us doing the same thing and we ended up by transfer security at the bottom of the stairs leading UP to the exit side of passport control. We were told to go up and get our passport/boarding passes checked and come back down but, with hindsight, we probably could have gone straight through security as no one seemed to be making sure we were checked. The check wasn't done at a booth - there was an officer or two standing round supervising or waiting to do ad hoc checks.
