U.S. airports versus Asian airports

I found your recent comment about the idiotic security procedures in American airports very interesting.

I can certainly compare the process in American airports with those in other countries. During my business travels I have been amazed at the efficiency of airports in East Asia. During my last trip through Singapore, South Korea and Japan, I spent no more than five minutes from the moment I stepped out of the aircraft to the moment I got into a taxi. On my last trip to the US, it took me nearly 90 minutes to get through immigration alone. It was stupid beyond belief.
