tigs on Nostr: I remember flying back to my home country when I was 16-17 perhaps on the way back ...
I remember flying back to my home country when I was 16-17 perhaps on the way back from Tokyo. The security are so fucking stupid that they presumed me to be some kind of hardcore drugs mule BECAUSE I had cannabis related goods in my bag.
P.S. Nothing that has touched actual cannabis, I'm talking about a magazine, a hemp blanket and other things that were simply... items, but were scrutinized because they had a cannabis leaf on it.
I eventually got told they would be doing chemical tests on the majority of all my luggage, and if I was found with 0.0001% of THC then I was 'Fucked' as the head of security so eloquently put it.
They found nothing.
Next they decided to bring in a 8ft fucking giant who they assigned the duty of 'body searching and frisking.' The asked if I had any questions before proceeding.
At 17 and ever the wise ass... "Yeah, just don't get turned on please."
They found nothing... I had nothing.. Never had nothing and have flown HUNDREDS of times prior to that experience from birth till then. Gotta say that experience has seriously soured my relationship with airports and how they treat people as cattle...
Narita Airport in Tokyo however... that's a whole other story. One of awesomeness and inclusivity and being welcome to foreigners. Where I am we're all presumed guilty until proved innocent by stripping our human rights.
