Four Shopping Malls Attached to Some Runways

According to Successful Meetings, something called the Wall St. Cheat Sheet has issued its list of the 10 Worst Airports in the World. Coming in an #6 is London Heathrow, described as "four shopping malls that have been smashed together." The description is slightly harsher than it should be, though; you do go through security before being herded into the central shopping waiting area.

As Kevin says, you go through security to get to the waiting area which is, basically, a shopping mall. They do check ID and Boarding Pass before you board through and they often check boarding pass at the gate.

To be fair, British Airports have been about selling you stuff for a few decades now :)
