A staff member with the airport explains that part of the reason for opening the male-only channel is to respect the customs of some foreigners and people from various ethnic groups.This is a move by the airport to improve its services and become more passenger-friendly.

According to the regulations of the airport, female passengers should only be checked by female security inspectors. Under the original arrangement at the airport, when one channel is equipped with a male inspector and a female inspector, each female inspector has to deal with more passengers than her male colleagues.

Imagine the scene: a female is busy checking female and male passengers alike while a male idles on the sidelines. This appears to be an obvious waste of staff.

The problem is solved by the new channels which allow male passengers to undergo checks by designated inspectors. Clear priorities allow the line to move faster and more smoothly, greatly improving efficiency.
