Maybe its the beard, maybe i had it coming with my friendly attitude towards the nice security staff at YVR and Gatwick. At the security checkpoint coming through at YVR i was "randomly selected" for a through..... THUROUGH patting down, frisking and searching of all my carry-on baggage. It wouldn't have been as bad if someone bought be a drink or brought me flowers. I just smiled and took it all in stride.
Upon arriving in London, word of advice... humor doesn't get you anywhere with these guys. These certain brits have very little to no sense of humor. When asked if I intend to work in the UK, i responded with "probably not, since I am on holidays". I was met with "no? or probably no?" and then was the recipient of a barrage of questioning and so on to which i was detained for nearly an hour and had ALL my bags searched down to reading through my journal.
But here I am, safe and sound, looking for a bed to sleep in tonight. Wish me luck.
Ciao
