What I do mind is the absolutely lilliputian security screening checkpoint -- no matter whether one or all three (seriously, three?) lines are open, the screening is equally slow

Additionally, the utter lack of space completely prevents being able to split the security queue between regular travellers and :-: :-: priority :-: :-: pax like us. YUL and YYZ can do it, why can't YVR?

And yet YVR consistently ranks higher than those two airports in rankings. Shows how much credibility airport rankings are

....

Luckily I don't have nexus/GE yet, or else i'd also be adding a rant about how $#@ stupid it is that the airside part of CBP doesn't have any of the machines. Even YUL can do it ....
+1 Real frustrating!
