US airport terminals are rare if not unique in that one has to pay to get a luggage cart. This is, in particular, presents a most unfriendly welcome to international travelers. One is dazed, without petty cash, and unsure about using a credit card machine after having crossed an ocean on a long flight and then having dealt with immigration authorities.
