'Britain's airports are, in other words, like North Korea, but with shops.'
It's like that here in the States as well. The shoe removal and strip-down queues are a little out of hand. On my most recent flight (Detroit to LA and back), I didn't spot any Homeland 'Security' people with automatic weapons, but there were a number of bomb-sniffing dogs. Frankly, seeing anyone with an MP5 or similar as you're about to board your plane isn't exactly the best way to embark on your journey.
I love planes and airports; I'm just not too keen on the people in them. Or dogs, for that matter.
