For some reason, they've stopped stamping passports automatically, but will do it if you ask. (I always ask, coming and going, in case I ever need to prove that I didn't overstay.)

Of course, the flight had arrived 6 hours late- perhaps we caught the one slack time of the day!

I enjoyed this feature a couple of weeks ago, although I had never seen it before at CDG. No wait at the Fasttrak, long lines at regular control.

As noted in a post above, they are now scanning all passports, and why all countries don't do that is a real mystery.

Not so upon arrival at GVA. The Swiss immigration officer gave me shrug and waved me through
