US and UK immigration given vote of confidence

US immigration officials have been voted the rudest in the world in an online survey by travel and social networking site WAYN.com (Where Are You Now?).

In the survey 2250 passengers were asked questions about baggage handling, customs and security at major international airports.

American immigration officials came out worst, followed by India and Russia.

“Our survey would suggest that the US customs and immigration need to address their attitude towards visitors, simplify the form filling, generally be a lot more welcoming and better reflect the personality of the American people,” said Jerome Touze, joint founder and joint chief executive of the site.

Despite the the USA immigration verdict, New York’s JFK performed well in the security question coming joint first with London Heathrow, which was also voted the most annoying airport for passport queues followed closely 2nd by JFK.
