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:
“Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.”
—Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)
“The greater the decrease in the social significance of an art form, the sharper the distinction between criticism and enjoyment by the public. The conventional is uncritically enjoyed, and the truly new is criticized with aversion.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
“I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
