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, 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.
