Donkey Duke:
Now - if we in the US are all so hot, and are all such sophisticated travelers (who don't need passports), choosing between the 2 Disneys and some other exciting destinations (maybe in the midwest), then why are you so worked up about LHR???
Why don't you just connect back and forth via ATL a thousand times (incl. commuters, your quote), and leave the rest of us alone?
