Man, do I love freedom (of information)

Still in Dubai. Still not on plane. Why haven't I been writing piles of updates, do you ask? Because FRS radios, GPS units and binoculars are all way too dangerous to take as carry-on baggage. Way too dangerous to the tune of a $135US (extra bag fee). It would be nice if they put them on the not-allowed list before humorlessly harassing people about them. I did get a guided tour of the Dubai airport from airport security however, and I'm pretty darn sure they followed/tracked me all the way to the gate, for my safety, of course. Tim would have a field day with this...
