Another thing I should have mentioned in the post. It was unseasonably cold as hell when we disembarked the ship. Before getting to the biometric exit area I mentioned, we had to collect luggage in an enclosed, heated area. My friend group was a bunch of seniors. One of them was a woman who was having trouble walking due to recent surgery, and was sensitive to cold. Since our pick up ride was late, we tried to slow walk the process to avoid going out into the freezing cold. The minute we stopped walking, we were hurried along by guards. I finally asked one of them to give us a break, and explained the situation. He pointed to a camera and said that we all were under surveillance, and if he didn't prevent people from standing around for more than 30 seconds there would be an alert, and he would be in trouble. Pretty dystopian.
