Crossing the border yesterday (out and back) I opted for the "e-channel" (with thumb print scanner thing).
Long queues at the "normal" desks, yet e-channels had no queue and was very fast indeed.

We will consume 85 million barrels of oil today, what's going to be left for tomorrow?

It took nearly 20 tries, when I applied for the new identity card, to make a proper read of my thumb print. Wipe, reposition, wipe, rinse, and on and on. Then, when I went to collect the new card, same thing. If that happened at Immigration it would be a nightmare. Don't feel like I can trust the scanner again.

Perhaps it's because you are a 'gweilo'

Perhaps the scanner is not so easily able to detect your 'gweilo' white skin.

Sabi,
Maybe you have a contrasting skin colour then.

Following that logic.....Hongkonger isn't white? Or I am white?
