Border control. You arrived from a friendly country, a civil servant in regular clothes glanced at your picture and you, maybe asked a short question about your trip, then it was "welcome home" and you got waved through. All done in seconds. Going to our neighbours in Europe and it was just the same.
Now they have facial recognition stuff that takes forever to recognise you, frequently fails to and directs you to a human dressed in an intimidating uniform who gives you the third degree. Before you even get to the control point you will be in a long snaking queue often being yelled at by an officious security type. Going to our neighbours there are long queues and passport stamps even if there are e-passport readers. Soon you will have to preregister online before you even leave (and foreigners coming to the UK will experience something similar).
