Your Papers, Please!

I got my passport back.

Let me take a moment and gloat gleefully at you Americans. Getting my passport renewed was a 10-day return after a 30-minute wait in a modestly-furnished office with no crying babies, no illiterate homeless and very polite clerks. This also required a 10-minute visit to get an entirely new birth certificate, because the one that I had went missing.

So, anyway, like everyone else I quickly open it up and look at the main page, and discover why I must never fly into the US again.

With a serial-killer picture like that, I'm bound to get the extra attention we all dread. Yes, kids, it's strip-searching fun!
