It wasn't that someone had installed a light switch and they couldn't find it....they just didn't a have a switch.

> "It has to do with the fact that we haven't progressed far enough with our lighting system that we can control it," Horst Amann, airport technical director, said on Wednesday during a rare public appearance.

The equivalent of a fancy UI demo rigged up over a minimally functional backend.

Isn't it more like functional backend with no UI?

I meant to equate the lighting with the UI. To a casual user (a traveller) everything looks fine and probably pretty fancy, but a lot of the more intricate functionality simply isn't there yet.
