One of the attendants was taking baksheesh to put cases from the front of the machine to the back therefore bypassing the security check.:-) Not sure if I was really smiling at the time.

"have a nice flight sir." :-) Same at Charles de Gaulle (or Orly) airports in Paris, but you won't get a friendly "have a nice flight sir"... One place I would really argue though, is Beirut airport. The machines at the entrance of the airport fog the film big time! :-( All the best from the south of France!
