They have since instituted a refinement.
On our last trip (Feb 2020) we arrived direct from Malta, three on board including one who was reaching the border of massive bladder discomfort.
No worries, straight from the aircraft to the terminal on the golf cart, into the terminal which was unusually crowded, largely, actually wholly , with people in uniform. They wanted to talk to us.
We explained the third guy's discomfort to be met with basically "Tough sh*t".
There followed around half an hour of aggressive interrogation, each of us taken into a small room individually, bags searched thoroughly. Who were we? What were we doing coming from Malta? How much currency do you have on you?
Our guy just held out, but it was a close run thing.
A very impressive display from the border folk, cracking down on money laundering. Other than they didn't actually search the aircraft, which could easily have been, but wasn't, carrying huge volumes of folding money.
