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.

The Phoenix airport really is a shopping mall with attached air transport facilities. I understand it was built that way explicitly with the intention that people from the city would come to shop there. As a result, the new security measures were implemented in an exceedingly awkward way.
