Perhaps most of the administration should take Roger's advice on the plastic and duct tape headwrap. The next time we visit the USA, perhaps for a month will they confiscate my Garmin e-map that I use when over there? I have a Garmin CD that shows every street in mainland USA and the location of many public buildings, hotels, gas stations and other 'points of interest'. In any case if I was really keen I could buy the stuff over there. I also buy maps and guides everywhere we go. How suspicious can I get? I feel tempted to say 'get a grip' but I won't! After all, in WW2 we took down all the road direction signs in the UK. We removed town name boards and kept a total black out. We _were_ expecting a full scale invasion but I guess the Germans had maps themselves and would have printed plenty for their soldiers! Foreign accents would produce immediate arrests. -- David CL Francis |
