So I have really mixed feelings about all this. <BR/><BR/>I got uber-screened on my way back from Fairbanks once because I had a one-way ticket, having driven up there with friends who were moving back from the lower 48. It was damned inconvenient.

But having traveled in Australia and Japan, the US goes way overboard in their paranoia.<BR/><BR/>Do you suppose it's the Irish thing that always get me searched?

That would freak me out!<BR/>When we travled from Anchorage to Nome with our two dogs they made us take the dogs out of thier kennels so they could check out the inside (of the kennels, not the dogs) and they even checked their little stuffed animals we had with them. Now trust me, I'm the first to admit my dogs can be a pain in the ass, but their not very smart or political and come on, we were flying to NOME, not New York or Chicago or Kotzubue or anything....geezeElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544076384942487436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1155238511019802032006-08-10T15:35:00.000-04:002006-08-10T15:35:00.000-04:00My thought was "What the HELL did they find in my ...My thought was "What the HELL did they find in my suitcase?"
