The Worst Airport In America
More than 46 million Americans will travel further than 50 miles for this week's turkey-based festivities, and many of us will do it via air. And while very few airports deal well with holidays swarms, some of them excel at misery. (gizmodo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Hahahahaha!! Holy!! I was reading some of those comments and rollin!! So funny! I'm at Narita now and having come from KEWR, this place is absolute Heaven. I think Newark may be one of the few where you actually feel you may get mugged by the TSA agents instead of the regular thugs. Keep it tight when you travel through Newark.
Agree completely. My EWR experiences actually weren't too bad with the exception of the Blueshirts. I remember being screamed at for not having my hands in the exact proper position during the peep show. One time I got felt up after the peep show, when I asked why I was felt up after submitting to the peep show the Blueshirt just walked away. So then on future trips I decided to extend my middle fingers when assuming the position in the peep show. My little slice of rebellion.
Dude, I used to get harassed at KEWR as a flight attendant. TSA even tried to not let me through because I didn't have my tie on? Really?
TSA agents need some training in customer relations. I don't get
their sense of power and inflated self esteem. It's so ignorant.

I think it comes down to the airport/city government pushing back. With MCO as my home field, I'm fairly certain Disney, Universal and the rest of the local tourist industry have weighed in with TSA. They've become noticeably more customer-friendly and fast, while still being firm when needed. It only took 11 years. TSA does factor into whether a city gets return business for tourism and conventions. A bad departure experience can leave a sour taste in the mouth for the whole vacation.
On the other side of the trip, I think Disney even took over baggage return because it was so notoriously slow. The last time I checked a bag, it came back in record time, with a tag advertising a new Disney ride. That's a trade I'm totally willing to make.

TSA in Atlanta are notorious for taking anything they want. If you are from Georgia or use the Atlanta airport regularly, you know somebody who has been conned or ripped off at the Atlanta airport. It is a real disgrace because unsuspecting travelers from all over the world come here and get a fist bad impression of this country there.
If Shaun thinks Narita is "Heaven," wait 'till he gets to Singapore!
