Road blocks, checkpoints and car searches. Clear there are terrorists cells within Jordan. Wonder how they sneaked the rockets past the security at the ports? Security must be pretty lax there.
leaving Iraq for Amman, Jordan I was stopped at at least five checkpoints. The closer we got to Amman the less of them we ran into. Even though I liked my stay in Amman I very seldom went out of the hotel alone, or let the hotel staff know where I was going. And I always took a taxi at the hotel to my destination and back, that way if I came up missing investigators had a point to start looking for me.
