Comment: Very often in many countries "diplomatic corps, NGOs, governmental officials" etc. go through speedier walkways/special customs desks or cars are waiting for them at the plane and do not have to wait in line for passports/papers/taxes/customs. I take this to mean they are requesting politely that these people to observe the precautions instituted at the airport prior to exiting the airport (even if it takes longer), but I would not know if they can oblige them to do so.
