Can someone explain the difference between the airport authorities in Poland, (Border Guard & Police), and how they equate or operate differently to the UK airport authorities, ie: Police officers, Immigration officers, Customs officers & Security officers.

Not much to say.

The Straz Graniczna wears two hats - they're responsible for border control, and in Polish airports, they're additionally responsible for security. They're a civilian organisation, despite appearances.

The Sluzba Celna is the Customs guys. There's a strict division between the two - not really seen in Polish airports, but on the Eastern border, the two uniformed services operate separately.

Police don't have a role in Polish airports to the best of my knowledge - the job is done by the Straz Graniczna.

They're good guys, they do a great job in some very difficult areas - I've seen them camping in Bieszczady before!

Definitely, they're one of Poland's successes.

I did not see the phone go missing , but it was in my bag when i got to the airport , and after passing through the security check , it was not....

They must have been a bit gutted to discover the phone had a duff screen and was only used to charge up a spare battery....
