Mmm. Happened both ways to me, although easyJet had overloaded their staff with extra flights too.
Surely baggage is only a problem upon leaving the carrousel hall?
Also, security was the area with the least congestion. We moved through there quickly both ways because the bottlenecks were at both check-in and passports.
Again, I also saw same situation of about a thousand people in the non-EU passport queue upon arrival in Geneva, Vs no more than a dozen or two in EU queue.

By E gates , and now the passport has to get stamped both ways. To keep count of the 90/180 days.
Unless you have a permanent residents card.
You're telling me ...
I've got more stamps than royal mail

Have you ever entered a foreign country via an airport and not shown a passport?
You have to show ID at security at the departure airport, you wont get a boarding pass without a passport and certainly in the UK you have to filll out the API form
Security has never ask me for ID just a boarding pass. just the normal pat down and wave with the magic wand
ever hear of self check in where your print your own boarding pass, and what a API never filled one out in my life that i knew off (maybe i did when i book the flight they do ask a lot of questions on them online forms)
and as for checking my passport. half the time they never ask, as long as im flying within the EU
fly to the usa now that a whole different ball game

ID check from the airline is for the airline’s benefit rather than anything official - revenue protection only, to prevent ticket resale. Flying internal with a decent airline you’ll be asked for neither. International flights will have passport check by airline too, but again that’s to prevent them getting fined by the receiving country and has no emigration status at all - HMG doesn’t care who leaves the country.
Mate flew from England to Scotland at the weekend and didn’t show any ID, as I’ve done many times in the past.
