when i landed in Milan, Italy, i was greeted by men with "really big" guns. surprisingly, they weren't as anal as our airport security (if you are referring to the U.S.). we did not have to take our shoes off or anything, which was required on the way over. also, they did not have such restrictions on lighters and matches as they did in the U.S. on my previous flights on the same trip. this was in June of '05.

Security at many foreign airports are really strick. In many european airports they carry machine guns and have attack dogs. They do not joke around, even little kids behave.
At other international airports they do not require you to take off your shoes like here in the states. You will find as you travel to various countries the security will vary. Just be prepared for many different rules as you travel.

When I went to England in 2003, Heathrow's security looked very much like in Chicago--except Heathrow's was centralized and O'Hare had it more scattered. When I went to Bulgaria, those folks were more practiced at being scrutinized closely. With that limited experience (plus Mexico), if I were to try to sneak myself or something into the US, I would use alternate means like go to Mexico or put something on a container ship. You weren't going to be carrying on anything with the Bulgarians (checked luggage is different, they simply wrapped everything and away it went). But with a few more smiles and "please"s in England, I might have chanced it there if I had to, but only if I had to. Part of that is because I trust the English jails are nicer.

Well, every time I went to Spain, I had trouble even showing my documentation: they would just whisk me through! They didn't have time to look at my passport.
On the other hand the place was full of 'Guardia Civil', and they would immediately notice if a piece of luggage had been left unattended, contrary to our Canadian airports.
They would also scrutinize faces - not only of passengers, but of anyone in the airport.
So each country has its strong and weak points as regards security I guess.
