We had some fun messing with "security" in Amsterdam (Them: Sir, we have to confirm that this is really your passport. Do you have a drivers license or a major credit card? Me: Why, do I have to pay for pat-downs now? Them: Sir, please stop giving the scanner operator the finger.). Had some issues in Atlanta, where they were confiscating eeeeebil bottles of shampoo and deodorant at the exit. My advise- avoid ATL. They are terribly annoying.
Cheers,
My CHU leaked that night (more like around sunrise the next morning while I was asleep...hours after it stopped raining) and I'm getting a new laptop and a new iPod that I had to order yesterday. (I spent Saturday moving to a nice dry, non-leaking CHU...Happy New Year!)
ROFL on the Amsterdam security conversation. (You're just making that up....right?)
They're confiscating shampoo and stuff at the EXITS now? At Customs? I avoid ATL anyway....that place is a zoo. Last time I was there was when I finished mission and breezed through CIF at Benning in '08.
Enjoy the good life in the US and I'm glad I got to meet y'all during your stay on our little base...on a few occasions.
Cheers!
