Unusual surnames not withstanding, huh?

Patel is the second most common surname in India. It'd be like having two men named Smith on the plane and assuming they were related.

This becomes very very important on the next thread discussing boarding and security procedures in INDIA.

That said, thanks, I’ll keep that one in my hip pocket for the time when India Airways security procedures are brought up.

Til then....(chuckle)

Secondly only to Singh.... And like two randomly selected Smiths there aren’t anymore likely to be kin. But all said they were trying to hide the stuff so I’d assume they were aware of the regs. If so they should have taken the extra step to mail the stuff to were they were going.
