I don't find LGA very stressful, but it might to someone unfamiliar with it. It usually takes me 10 minutes to get through security and 5 minutes to exit the airport from the gate.

Not really surprised at all here. Probably could have guessed the top 5 although PHL and IAH could have been up there too. I really dislike IAH nothing against it.
I don't understand how DFW is #6 on the list but is also listed as the most hassle free...
This is kind of stupid because it doesn't take into account that the airport experience can be vastly different within a single airport between the different terminals. LAX or JFK come to mind.
But really, all of these 'Most ___ Airport' lists are just lists of the largest airports in the US in different orders...
Definitely O'Hare. I quite like the terminals (apart from the fact that you have to show ID to order a drink regardless of age, and have to eat steak with a plastic knife), and the lines for check-in and for security are rarely bad. Immigration is a total nightmare, however. I was there last Saturday, and for most of my wait, the line for non-connecting visitors, where I waited, was served by one (1) officer. The much longer line for connecting visitors looked like it had two. Even the lines for US citizen went a long way down the corridor. Completely unacceptable in any country. I'm flying through again in two weeks and I'm already stressed over the thought of missing my connection.
