Petty OfficialsBob de Bilde says: A traffic warden threatened to call the police and have me arrested because "It's illegal to take photos in the street. You might be a paedophile". I was taking a picture of a funny street sign, over which I had no plans to masturbate. Tell us about petty officials talking bollocks.

YupIt is true that the USA immigration officials obviously enjoy making the most of their power. The fact that they all carry a gun does not help. The only worse people in the airport are those who tell you which queue to stand in for immigration. They do not carry a gun but they usually have a clipboard, which is probably worse.

I'd already pissed off the woman with the clipboard....... by the simple method of not walking approximately a kilometre round the carefully laid out tensa-barrier thingy and instead, given that I was, as I said, the single solitary only other human in sight in the entire ten-acre concourse, simply ducking under the thing and going in more or less a straight line to where I was heading.
And yes, I flew business class. It was the first and last time I ever did so. It was brilliant. And I'm crap at airports because when I'm not flying for work (i.e. my entire life apart from that one time) I hardly ever go through the bloody things.
