Since we just had the friendliest, let’s look at the opposite. Not exactly the one with the rudest locals but the unfriendliest, be it scams, pickpockets, aggressive touts, unfriendly environment, or bad service.

Never even crossed my mind because 'Murica and all but now I know when I use my passport to go full crazy mode ripping my bags apart to make sure. One time I checked in at the airport and had a small spring assisted knife in my laptop bag (utility purposes) but didn’t want to risk anything so I tossed in the trash before the scanners. Not worth any hassle, bought a new one instead after I got back. Knives and bullets seem like the worst case scenario in that context.
I had a friend that made it through O-Hare and LaGuardia security with a 4" switchblade in her carry on; not a spring assist, an actual automatic knife, back when they were illegal almost everywhere, but after Sept. 11. Somehow security missed it both times.
Meanwhile, I nearly missed a flight because someone running the x-ray machine didn’t know what brass collar points were.
