Then give your ED Card and passport to the immigration officer and after he checks, the gate will open and this concludes the procedure for arrivals inspection.

If this is correct, I'll give this service a pass...
Well that is what I thought I read too, but what is the point of the card if they are going to get your prints/mugshot anyway? I guess you get a special line, and that is all.......
