At the entrance the car traffic is thin, but at the exit the line is so long that its end cannot be seen. When we enquire about the reason for the long line, the checkpoint commander answers that it doesn't concern us and suggests that we mind our own business. It was probably because of the long wait that people started passing to the opposite track in order to push into the line, which resulted in congestion that blocked the way and created a long line at the entrance too. We told the people that wanted to know what was going on that it was not the police but the congestion that delayed the traffic. I'm not sure if it put their mind at rest.
