The most awkward experience I've had with an airport as a US Citizen is LHR. It seemed disorganized, lots policies being enforced by people who had no context on how to enforce them.

The most invasive experience I've had with an airport was TLV. Though it was helped by the fact that I knew they were going to be thorough, they had plenty of staff, and the staff all seemed very well trained. However, I've heard that it can be a lot worse if you provide the wrong answers or aren't a white American traveling on business.

Other airports like FRA or AMS have been relatively pleasant.

LHR is just awful, strongly enforcing the stereotype of Britain being succumbed into Orwellian dystopy. Lucky me, JFK has always been very friendly with me. I do have a very trustable face, people tell me.
Or, as I found out in TLV, have a beard
