Frankly, I don't care much for Frommer or his publications. Rarely have I seen anything in Frommer's that is unusual or out-of-the-mainstream. His/his publications pander to the inexperienced & in my opinion have contributed to the throngs of tourists at certain sites and the general bad behavior of tourists (American tourists in particular) at many of the major tourist destinations.

Instead of taking the badly-behaved tourists to task, the pandering continues. Likewise, he won't take the TSA to task because it might (negatively) impact his revenue stream. Frommer is IMHO a sheep that wants zero-risk, and encourages zero-risk for the travels of his readers.
