No, we are not complaining about the absence of controls.
We are pointing out what a disorganised mess the entire thing is. And the mismatch between big announcements on the one hand and operational meltdown, incompetent people, wrong communications, contradicting rules on the other.
And indeed, it might indeed be true that the lady doesn't know in which country a city is. I remember a check several months ago when "motif imperieux" were needed but travel to EU was OK. At the entrance to security controls at 2F I showed a BP for a flight to MXP, the ADP lady waved me through, the policeman next to her barked "what's that thing" and she explained that MXP stood for "Milan, that's in Spain". No kidding. A week prior the police people quizzed about a boarding pass to GVA.
