Yeah, Gatwick sucks big ones. CDG has never really recovered from that building collapse: they are still using shuttle buses to compensate. I have to confess that I was going to cite my experiences of O' Hare, but that probably owed more to the airline in question than the design of the airport . . .
It has to be said that some of the BAA security measures look like a case of making a show of security while actually increasing (or at least protecting) revenues for BAA. For example, airport staff who work within the "secured area" can't bring water or other soft drinks with them to work, but they can buy them within the airport, at airport prices.
