    Any. Way. Back at work today. I need another vacation.

      We (the US) are Canada's largest customer. We are also not part of the EU, and there is free travel between nations within the EU. Effectively, the EU is the USA in Europe, where you would use the terms nations and states interchangeably. Therefore we are likely the largest group of visitors to may of the EU's nations, and some airports have seen fit to expedite that process. Like dx said, it's the money.

          Would you be more likely, or less likely to go back to Aruba, with the knowledge that when you travel there, you don't have to stand in long customs lines when you go home? That is why Aruba is OK with it. It makes them a more desirable destination for little or no effort on their part.

            I was expecting to stand in line at my home airport because I flew internationally and, well, that's what you deal with when you fly internationally. I'm OK with that. That had no bearing on my decision on whether to go or whether I will go in the future. I still had to stand in lines. I just did it in a smaller airport.

              I don't know the rationale but I loved it as it certainly made getting to my connecting flight in JFK easier.
