Not even anyone to wave you on or anything. It was like they were all on lunch break.

Hi,

To be fair, I have often gone through customs without seeing anyone in the green ( or the old blue eu channel) but I assume that you are being watched all the way through.
Only on a few occasions have I seen people having their cases examined.
