Has anyone been through here and experienced this in the last couple weeks? Any feedback? How long from landing until you were picking up
Your bags? I am hearing of issues with the scanners and fingerprints leading to processing delays to enter. Any feedback and insights greatly appreciated.

Yes, I went through a few weeks ago. The entire process from registration at machines and going through the e-gates took about 10 minutes.
The key sticking point for many seemed to be getting their fingerprints to register. Pressing down hard matters! A gentlemen near me who was struggling with this used his other hand on top to give added pressure and that did the trick.
If your fingerprints didn’t register, you were put in a longer line.
Others have reported that they did not register for EES and were processed manually.
Interestingly, when I exited through FCO, all but a few of the machines were turned off. Some were sent to exit through the machines and some waved over to an officer for a manual check. I was sent to an officer who looked at my passport for about 10 seconds and waved me through.
I think there is absolutely no way to predict how they will handle entry/exit at any given moment.
