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:
“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)
“It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
