As the night envelops the surroundings, your focus is drawn to the gentle glow of departing planes guided by marshals in reflective vests, wielding illuminated bars. Additionally, aircraft that have recently landed are visible, with passengers disembarking at a measured and cautious pace...

Shifting your view, you pass through an expansive glass wall, entering a luminous structure that stands in stark contrast, bustling with numerous people inside...

While some individuals are seated or even resting on the couches, others stand patiently in a queue leading to massive black barriers. As people move through these barriers, they deposit metal items, such as keys or phones, into a separate box before proceeding...

The barriers remain silent or emit an alarming noise with each passing person which makes guards attentively observe, occasionally prompting individuals to step back for reevaluation, looking for any potential security concerns...

Simultaneously, your focus is drawn to a similar queue from an external perspective, resembling a screening process for passengers who have recently landed and are undergoing post-flight checks...

Guard: I understand, but there's nothing we can do - He said, taking out his walkie-talkie - Please move to the side to free the queue so while I check other passengers, my friend will find your suitcases.

Old lady: Daylight robbery! - She exclaimed, spreading her hands in frustration and moving to the side - Give me your manager right now!

While the tense interaction unfolded between the irked, weary elderly couple and the second guard, the queue resumed its movement...

Simultaneously, the other guard continued scrutinizing additional passengers patiently waiting to pass through the barriers...

Delving further into the queue captures a diverse array of individuals—elderly, middle-aged, singles, couples, and even families with kids. Women, men, young boys, and girls alike, each adorned in a variety of clothing, all bearing signs of mild exhaustion likely attributed to the prolonged travel and the late hour...
