I traveled to Europe in '91. All was well at Orly until I offhandedly mentioned Amsterdam as a possible stop on my itinerary...

A greasy little customs officer became highly agitated, and questioned me suspiciously as he began breaking my almonds in half.

The shouting of a friend who had come to meet me was all that prevented my getting the rubber glove cavity search.

I never did go there. Glad you did.
