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:
“The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
