That's exactly my point. LHR does not make one remove one's laptop or other electronics from carried on baggage. LHR does not have behemoth checked baggage scanners that require 30+% of all bags to be opened. LHR does not open baggage and then leave you a note saying "opened for our entertainment while you weren't here". What is it that prevents such things from happening in the United States?
From My Cousin Vinny:
"Are you telling me that boiling water seeps into a grit faster on your stove than any other stove in the world? Perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove?!?"
