When I used to fly around the world when I still worked on ships, the most unnerving experience was in Angola.. They would help themselves to anything in your carry on.. You didn't want to end up in an Angolan jail. You would catch a beating if you were lucky or a disease. Once time I flew to Scotland from Korea for a course while in the shipyard. I bought some candy and stuff for my kids. After I flew back to Korea to finish my hitch, I won the round the world lottery with our travel agents. I flew from Korea home via Paris. The baggage tossers opened at the chocolate candies and repacked my bag.. i ducking hate the TSA types but has remind myself that ending up on a lost would cost me a lot more than the joy of telling them off..
I have resemblance to the guy in Portland that stripped nude at the checkpoint if you add a few dozen tattoos so it was fun to freak out some friends with a email about my troubles at the airport pictures..
