Airport chairs are designed so that you don't fall asleep, reclining chairs would defeat the purpose.

  Despite the fact that (a) people often do sleep on them, mostly by taking up 3-4 adjoining seats, and (b) sleeping in airports is a common and reasonable goal.

    Reasonable goals for the passengers don't necessarily coincide with the goals of those running the airports. I think it's reasonable for me not to be treated like a potential terrorist every time I fly, but I can understand why the airports feel they have to do that.

      Those running the airports could see to it that there isn't a reason to fall asleep or need sleep in airports, rather than making it difficult to do so.

        Easier said than done. Rampant delays surely don't help airports or airlines either -- I'm sure they're doing what they can on that front as well.
