So, they do not have a token system at all? Almost every other airport has a simple tokened system where one gets a token for their belongings, goes through the checks, reaches the other end and hands the token back and collects their belongings.

The worst would be for non-US citizens. My cousin got back to the US after a vacation and she had two of her kids accompanying her. She was asked to go through the scanners and though she protested, she was asked to 'follow the rule'. And thus she complied and the entire bunch went through the scanners only to find some fat slob at the monitor leering at her 12 yr old daughter. She was crying over the phone saying she wanted to get out as soon as possible from that hopeless place.
