I had a very embarrassing situation at an Arab airport, I was travelling on my own and was picked out of a large queue, I wonder why as a 6ft blonde
I was ordered to open my suitcase by security in front of all the other travelers
At this point I vehemently protested and as I only speak a little Arabic which was mostly swearing and demanding a female security lady to take me to a private room and causing havoc :anger: I was finally rescued by a English speaking rep who reinforced my rights in correct Arabic and I was sent on my way.... And yes the whole point of my distress was that I was not prepared to have my favourite travelling companions waved about in the baggage area :stress:
I still travel with them and I'm of the view to hell with it, I'm sure security have seen it all before
