I haven't been there since 9-11, but over the years I've gone to DCA
and IAD a couple dozen times, and never had a problem.

DCA tower always (in VFR wx) cleared me to land on one of the cross
runways between the big iron, with no delay, trusting me to hold
short.  And I've mentioned here before that once, after clearing me
for the approach at IAD, AC told an Air France jet who called in right
after I did,  "You're number two behind the Cherokee."

Hard to complain about service like that.
