Push 0 #2 July 16, 2003 Something just occured to me. KGB = Komitet Gosudarstvennoi Bezopasnosti. The exact, word for word translation of it is (drum roll): Department of Homeland Security. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

AndyMan 7 #3 July 16, 2003 It's interesting - this article says that we have the right to request to be present during any searches of checked baggage - regardless of how the airport is set up. Can anyone confirm this? _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mjosparky 4 #7 July 16, 2003 Paul, You are right, I just spent 30 min. looking over the TSA site and I would not like to buy a car from the guy who set it up. SparkyMy idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Push 0 #8 July 16, 2003 Well, it could translate into several forms, of course. Gosudarstvo doesn't really have an english counterpart, it translates roughly as "land of our lord", where lord is the owner of the land, not God. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.
