Don't worry Richmond, they have special little mirrors on a long pole  
with little wheels so they are easy to maneuver - like they have for  
under vehicles. Newer ones have laser beam explosive sniffers that  
might hurt a bit however. Eat no beans the night before.

Once, flying into Boston back in 1999, they saw I had come from Malta  
and said "Americans don't go to Malta". Rather downhill from there as  
all molecules and atoms were inspected, typed, and stamped. Finding  
humor in it will extend their inspection of a thousand cuts. Try to  
remain neutral, no laughter, crying, or running.

On a more practical note, try to have everything in a carry on bag.  
Luggage handlers in some countries can cause far more grief than  
Customs workers.
