From a very good friend visiting us from Germany, it is interesting to hear his

After a couple of hours at the FAA Offices to upgrade his US certificate and
seeing the security coming and going, he remarks:

From a comparison of my visit to the Denver FSDO in October, 2001 and
to the Bulgarian Border Customs post, crossing from Romania, in
September, 1977 the difference is less than you might imagine.

In both cases the paperwork, when we got to it, was fast and
efficient.
