Narrative:
Due to the numerous runway incursions at fxe, ground controllers have elected to institute a work slow-down. This is no way to improve this situation. Due to a long delay at crossing an active runway I let the ground controller know that I was very unhappy. She had security meet me at the FBO to take my pilot's license number down. I do think an unsafe environment exists at fxe due to the large volume of traffic. The controllers just seem to lose control at times.
