=====================
 ML> Let me tell you, the luggage on any flight to the US has been
 ML> screened and rescreened. Ever since Lockerbie. As of recently,
 GJ> Is that screening done with you standing alongside, ready for
 GJ> interrogation in case of suspicious items being seen?

There are two ways that I know of. One, you deliver it to the
machines, and it is processed while-u-wait. That obtains mostly
I believe in airports with not much longhaul traffic. The busiest
airports keep their luggage screening out of sight. There's no
point in having the subject present for interrogation, as the
stuff is supposed to have been positively matched to the traveler
at checkin. I was privileged to see the automated bag screening
at Frankfurt, where the impressive and perhaps 50-foot-long chain
of sniffing machines parallels one of the major pedestrian
walkways, separated by a thin wall.

 GJ> Being blown up while in Lagos is far more likely.

Being kidnapped and/or robbed is the most likely.

 ML> Can you imagine them asking their cousins "do you use poisonous
 ML> pesticides in your farming, and what about laundering Chinese

 GJ> Possibly not, but they might say that the terrible Dong family with
 GJ> the next pond have been feeding their barramundi pieces of tourists.

Tourists who ask questions.

That is not a bad thing, I'm sure, but is it a good thing?
