It is usually as smooth as it used to be with the old machines, and there is usually someone monitoring the machine right there.

Only at HEL are the machines so tremendously slow. Is this only because they have just one person looking at all the machines' monitors simultaneously in some back room?
I had big problems at HEL fast track security until June - my bag always got a secondary check in Helsinki but very seldom elsewhere. Since July no secondaries at HEL and see fewer bags needing to be rescreened in general.
