Criticism
Corruption is rampant at the airport. Pakistani expatriates who live abroad have expressed severe dismay over the hassle and disrespect they are given when they arrive at the airport. British Pakistanis, most of whom speak only English complain that custom officials as well as police officers have taken advantage of them in the form of bribes, intimidation and even arrest. Many British Pakistani families have had money, gifts and presents stolen from their luggage, items confiscated without reason and fictional taxes imposed on certain declared items, even if the passengers have no items to declare.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
