Did he try to board a plane with a gun in his luggage to see if they would subject his luggage to a scan, or just let him pass through as a VIP?

You will have to be moved to an inactive poster until it heals. Can you report back exactly where they are and what inactivity actually takes place.

His office probably called the airport one week prior to his visit and scheduled the inspection to take place between 10 and 11:3o PM. Accordingly the inspection was conducted by the police chief and six subordinates in full gear, with a visitor pass stating: Access to all areas.

Did he try to sneak in by putting 1000 us$ in their pocket?

The only effective " Inspections" of this type are done by informed/trained

under cover agents posing as travelers not a gang of uniformed --

un-informed troops, who announced their visit a week early.LUNCH EVERYBODY !
