I spent last week near the border of one of those SSS countries (Supposedly Super Scary). Passed through airport security a few times last week there and every time it was professional and polite and frankly quite 'easy'.

Edited to add: I know that Germany isn't known for the warmth of officials, but when I showed my passport today both the official and I seemed to be a little out of it. He initially made an error, I smiled and corrected him, and he joked back with me.

Perhaps I am just having a really good run on airport security and immigration in the last few weeks, but travelling to these 'bad' countries has been a pleasure.
