You know, if you hired more immigration officers instead, perhaps the huge queues wouldn't be there to need helping out with...
I've seen the worst queue management in DXB, 10 different lines
for the same thing and you can never figure out when one closes and
when a new ones start. You may get through in 30 seconds or 2 hours.

Also hate the US practice of stamping the empty page everytime.
I have a passport that is 8 month old and it is almost full now.
I've found Australia and UK among the best stampers, US the worst.
and in few countries I was able to convince them to double
stamp a grid to save me some pages. Now I have some pages with
7-8 stamps and some with just one.
