>You should see what they put my Father through when he flys. He's a dark skinned guy from Miami and he looks almost Arabic. It's funny cause we're Jews. When he flys they pull him aside and give him the third degree. It's funny.
The gun writer Mossad ayoob who is of arab extraction, tells the tale of how he was questioned for hours about the competion guns in his hold luggage and the questioners complained he was simply quoting their own airlines regulations back to them. "Of course I am", he told them; "you don't think I'd try flying with guns without reading them do you".
the Questioner agreed he was within the regulations and the guns were in the hold luggage and not available to mossad anyway but he just wished mossad was called 'bob smith' because the gun phobic british pilot "has been in a room for 3 hours spluttering no bloody bloke, called mossad bloody ayoob, is getting on my bloody plane with 3 handguns!!"
That was in the 80s. If your face doesn't fit and you are trasnporting guns. you best bring a sleeping bag and go the day before to deal with the questioning now.
