Also the security guards are apparently selected with a spoils system which insures that the least qualified get hired first and have no incentive to do a good job. I feel the U.S. Administration sucks gumballs, but I don't plan on visiting Greece on my next trip to Europe. If you have been to Narita or even to Barbados, you know what security is all about.
