Passing through security into departures liquid containers in my wife's baggage and a laptop in mine were disregarded and security personnel appeared disinterested in the whole process.

The whole terminal, which serves flights to the US and the Middle East was filthy and rundown and I just got the impression that security was very very lax.
Since you feel Rome Airport is unsafe, which alternate measures will you be taking.....or will you continue to fly out of that airport?
