re: #58 klys

I grew up in NJ, so Newark was my home airport for a long time.

I have distinct memories of flying out after 9/11 and seeing the soldiers with their rifles. My sister forgot to remove a pair of children’s craft scissors from her bag before the flight and got the third degree - she was in tears. Pretty sure she was 9 or so at the time.

Now that I know how much better airports can be I kind of abhor Newark. Although Las Vegas wins for worst layovers, these days.

Airports suck.

WORST (MEANEST, RUDEST) SECURITY EVER: Frankfurt. (They have the experience)

Runners up: LAX and LGA

I read on a travel blog that people “pretend” to be disabled because wheelchair passengers get assistance going through security. Someday these people will get older and get arthritis and neuropathy and then they will know how much it sucks to be disabled ALL THE TIME.
