Can you elaborate why "10 years ago traveling through the EU was a huge PITA for Americans"?

My American and other friends who visit very often tell me (and told me 10 years ago also) how easy it is to travel to and in the European Union. No forms to fill in (in most countries), no or very few questions asked, just a quick passport stamp and 9 out of 10 times you just walk through the green channel at customs.

This is very different from the treatment an average EU tourist gets in the USA.
