Other issues such as immigration process is a major cause of discontent at US aiirports when compared with other countries immigration workflow, particularly for non-locals.
I don't use lounges, perhaps they represent a major part of the rank.

SFO doesn't actually have TSA agents. Security is contracted through Covenant Aviation Security. See --> http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/atsfo/saf-sec/
Hmm, was it LAX? I'm reasonably certain SFO had scanners, but yeah, it might have been LAX.

Um, every other sign in that airport reads "death for drug traffickers". That's not any more pleasant than the TSA.
It's WAY more pleasant. I see the sign, it doesn't affect me, I am happy. I see the TSA, they go through my stuff, they treat me like a terrorist, I wonder if they're going to steal something, they enforce arbitrary rules at their discretion, they take up my time, the whole thing is very unpleasant.
That's odd, whenever I flew to SFO I had a great time. The TSA agents were more than happy to give me free massages, which you don't see anywhere else.
Think you're joking, but I came here to write - SFO is the best I can remember. Easy in and out, free wifi that actually worked and desks with power cords to use it from, regular and easy-to-understand shuttle bus system with helpful staff around, good access to cheap car hire and trains to town. Belongs miles ahead of Abu Dhabi. I bet Californians are a pickier bunch than the average airport visitor :)
No traffic to the airport, in & out of security in 5 minutes (longest I've waited is 10 minutes), free wifi AND a TSA agent smiled at me. It's like another world.

Changi airport is exactly what airports should be like. It's a nice place to be instead of a horrible warehouse with lots of signs warning you that you're an accidental bottle of water away from being labelled a terrorist.

The warning is on the customs form that you fill in when you fly into Singapore, as you'd expect. But comparing it to the TSA is facile as they're unavoidable if you're flying in the US.
Just a note, I have been several airports in the top 50 and I certainly do not agree with the rank. I don't know how they measured it, but I don't understand how Singapore can rank that high, I found it close to terrible while visiting. Furthermore, I would rank Copenhagen much higher than e.g. Zürich. I don't use lounges, perhaps they represent a major part of the rank.
