Default ..."as you go through"...

I have one more question. There is an example in Headway upper-Intermediate about the use of future tenses, and the sentence goes as follows:

`Your passports will be collected as you go through passport control`.

I wonder about the chunk of the sentence in bold. Why not "as you are going" or "as you will be going"? Why is not some Continuous form used here?
