I Hate to Complain, But...
Thu., June 01, 2006
Based on the welcome we received yesterday, maybe they should update that "land of the free and the home of the brave" line to the "land of the arrogant and home of the truculent." From the moment we touched American soil in Detroit, it seems like we were frowned at, snarled at, or yelled at by everyone from the passport guy -- who obviously assumed EVERYONE flying from Asia must be both deaf and dumb -- to the maximum security prison guards pretending to be NWA flight attendants who obviously hate their jobs, not to mention their passengers.
It seemed like the airport was in a bad mood yesterday, at least compared to the airline and airport people in Manila and Tokyo who may not be as efficient as their Detroit counterparts, but at least they smile as they make you wait. Now, if we could only figure out why so much of the world hates America these days.
