If poor airports are capable of wrecking an economy then the US is

You are confusing airports and their employees, with US federal
government functionaries. *At some airports, some USCIS enforcers can
be brusque. *These people are outwith the control of the airport.
If every Underground train contained a violent drunk who stole your
wallet, then even if said violent drunk wasn't employed by London
Underground and London Underground had no control over the violent
drunks, it would be fair to say that they made journeys on London
Underground substantially less pleasant than journeys on the New York
Subway or Paris Metro.
The same applies for security screeners and immigration personnel at
US airports.
You argued this very clearly. I cannot disagree with your point.
