I feel ill at the though that i might not make it through this. I'm now going to be leaving all my vitamin supplements behind ( one of them is melatonin - it would have been in my bag, and I would have not seen my family for 4 years or maybe ever again.) I have others, I've searched for banned substances (melatonin is not on the lists I've found) I now don't know if I'm going to get done for something I have no idea about, something that is totally legal everywhere else. If you can be jailed for being raped (I'm a woman and I'm flying alone!!) or eating a bagel, I'm so stupid for booking my flight through Emirates. An in 2 weeks I'll have to run this gauntlet again on my way home... I hope I make it through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-31125069029604483382011-04-18T21:30:11.610+04:002011-04-18T21:30:11.610+04:00On the subject of law.... what is the truth behind...On the subject of law.... what is the truth behind the poor British fellow who died in the local lockup.. as far as the police are concerned he consumed hashish and choked on his own vomit... very convenant... gosh!!
