Recordist's notes

A crowd in the baggage screening area in Terminal B at the Katowice airport. The place was packed with people, crammed into a disorganized line in a narrow corridor, served by three not-very-efficient scanning stations. Trays being placed on the conveyor belt leading to the scanner, alarms sounding off, conversations of frustrated people. (roland r-07)
