question: is there another country now doing airport security better?

I did a bunch of international travel a few years ago and found the process to be fairly standard. Didn’t feel as if other countries are quite so obsessed with removing shoes, but they seemed a bit more obsessed with additional carryon screening.

Helsinki airport was recently redone, and now the security doesn't require you to remove laptops from your bags. It's not perfect, but very welcome change for someone in charge of carrying electronics for the whole family.

Security at Frankfurt this past December felt like a lighter touch and better organized than TSA in Orlando or Houston, but still attentive and likely to catch something that shouldn’t be taken onto the plane.

The Paris airports did not change. I have not removed my shoes for quite a ling time, though (but the laptop in its own tray is still there)
