I was making a joke regarding airports everywhere and people offending or otherwise annoying large security persons! Allow me to requote from my original mail in case someone thinks I am accusing the German folks of being bad guys. "Hi John, posts that detail enviable trips to interesting locations are at risk of attracting jealous replies rather than helpful information ;-). For Germany, the rule is that everything that is not permitted is verboten! For all airport security arrangements, be patient, helpful, co-operative and keep smiling. Better than a session in a closed room with two gorillas and rubber gloves. Sorry for unhelpful, irreverent e-mail. I couldn't resist! Don't forget to show us some photos after you return." I'd love to see Germany, I've never been, however I like to think that there is a significant part of their GDP in my camera bags.

I found that the customs and security personnel at Frankfurt were polite and courteous despite the inevitable unintended rudeness from an American's first visit to their country. Likewise everyone else I met in Germany. Doug Herr Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
