Security Questions

I've been working the idea of Spaceport security over in my mind and I'd like to see how you all view the arrangements at a spaceport.
Lets say you're the Chancellor Sherrif of the Court of a Planetary Duke. In addition to organizing the Duke's secret police and coordinating law enforcement between his vassals you are in charge of security of the spaceport.
How do you secure a spaceport with a workforce that was likely not raised in a home with elecric light? What low tech methods can you use to ensure passengers go to customs and ships are inspected for contraband? How do you keep people from sneaking into hangers or warehouses? What can you do to foil PCs that want to sneak off planet or smuggle goods in and out?
How do you think cargo would moved through a spaceport?
How would passengers board and disembark from their trips?
Who is responsible for verifying paperwork for each?
Do Charitoeers or Engineers have fewer restrictions on their movement through spaceports?
Would staff wear non-inconagraphic identificaiton so illiterate people could check badges?
Is there a short line for Native Nobles and other persons of importance? If you're travelling to Lemenkainen to visit native Hawkwoods can they just telecom the spaceport and explain they have visitors arriving and having you waived through hours of customs, inspections, and standing in line?
How does life in a medieval spaceport work?
