The passport control rant

in #steemfest6 years ago

Passport control rant

Yes, sometimes even a positive thinking mind - like me - need to get rid of some negative feelings.

Today I went home from Bangkok and as you read the title, I had to spend to much time in the waiting queue at the passport control.

New huge airport

The nice Suvarnabhumi International Airport or in Thai ท่าอากาศยานสุวรรณภูมิ looks cool and need to offer a better service to control travelers.

So what to do in the queue?

Write a passport control rant

First I said a not writeable f-word, as I hate useless spent lifetimes due the reason from somebody else.

But what to do. I decide to write.

Who is the one we can blame?

More and more people travel but with a little bit of math a normal smart brain should be able to figure out how many people will show up for a flight. From there you might add the
Planes ✈️ who are leaving and make a short calculation by using the departure time.


WHO
CAN
WE
BLAME
?


Out of this you get a nice overview and from there you might be able to calculate the amount of Passport control points which will bring you to the amount of passport inspectors you need including adding some overhead for people being sink or on vacation.


So what

No make your bloody homework and make the right amount of people show up for work.

OR, as we life in digital times, get some more of this automatic control machines as this technology scales way better than human.

30 Minutes extra

Now, after taking a lot of picture from this wonderful not yet used machines I luckily arrive in from of a nice gentleman who seems to have a great job. He has to stamp several times some tiny piece of paper and is allowed to look very angry - for me sad - while he is doing his job


Finally at check in

There is the solution

Is this the solution?

Please don’t take me to seriously, as this post mainly exits as I had to much time.

Safe travel to all the SteemFest members and you - where ever you go.

echt cool, dass du dich auf dem weg zum steemfest machtst :)

War wieder echt eine Bereicherung und besonders der offene Austausch mit nahezu allen Mitarbeitern von SteemInc hat mich positiv gestimmt.

Nichts übertrifft aber den Zusammenhalt in der Community

ich muss beim nächsten mal unbedingt dabei sein!

Auf jeden Fall!!!

Hi Detlev,
Gute Heimreise!
Falls du noch was warten musst und weiter fragst, wer daran Schuld ist, lies doch einfach meinen Comic, den ich mal zu dem Thema gezeichnet habe:

Hi @achimmertens, gut gemacht Dein Comic. Bin mal gerade aus Doha beim Zwischenstopp am Comic vorbei gegangen.

Alles eine Frage des Geldes. Natürlich könnte man mehr Zöllner dort hinsetzen - dann kostet es halt mehr. Billiger ist es aber, einfach zu sagen "Warten und Klappe halten, oder Zuhause bleiben." Und heute ist der Preis alles was zählt beim Fliegen, nicht mehr so wie früher, als fliegen noch etwas Exclusives war.

Das mag sein. Aber so gab es die Zeit für einen Rant und das schadet ja auch nicht. ;-)

Ah ah ah! Silly machines!

Yes, this time, while entering Europe, all people went to the queue and I straight to the machine.

Saved some time, but did not created a post on steem.

See? That's the problem when you live in Germany, lol! The discrepancy is huge!

Yes and no. I mainly don’t like queues at all.

But blogging about this while waiting in a queue made it useful time again.

Greetz from the damn cold

I mainly don’t like queues at all.

Totally with you on this. Who does, actually?

Greetz from the damn cold

Right back at ya'! So I guess you're back home from the land of warmth already...

Yes, somebody has to work.

But I love to stay with the folk at the beach.

Was giving them to Detlev, what are you on?

Certainly it was a time for jai yen. I chatted to the people in the queues around me in whatever broken parts of common languages we could knit together. Some American ladies got told off for taking photos - the ladies were not being subtle about it. That airport was a arrive three hours before your flight kind of place.

You should have seen it back when Don Muang was the only international airport. Suvanabhumi airport certainly is busy, but it is a massive improvement from the way that city was 15 years ago.
