re: #51 Bagua

Depends how far you go back. (pun intended.)

I recall being a lad about 20, hopping a flight from Athens to Tel Aviv. The guard took my duffel bag and half unzipped it and asked me “What have you got in here.” (I did have a few things I hoped to slip through)

I smiled and said, “Just a bomb.”

He scowled at me past his mustache for a moment, then smiled and zipped my bag back up unsearched.

Things are different now.

Be glad you weren’t in Turkey when you made that comment.
