Man, that is scary. A couple years ago I went with my family to NYC and my mom went up a day early. They didn't search her stuff but they searched all of ours, we think just because were one family traveling on seperate planes. Don't why that would matter to them, we could hardly be called Arabic in appearance. They even made me drink from my water bottle to make sure I hadn't filled it with acid or something. Weird.

And to think I'm going back to this paranoid country in less than a month. I'd better be careful what I write on the plane...
