Remember xxcarol is the holder of a USA passport.  Think how us
foreigners are treated!  I was not really surprised to be singled out
for "random" special examination twice during my recent visit to
America, but then on my return to Adelaide from NZ I was questioned
closely on my travel details, and my luggage was given the intensive
examination treatment.  Nothing untoward was discovered, as I had
declared the 3 cans of Wattie's hot chilli beans I was bringing home.
What is it about some people which attracts this kind of attention?
MLoo seems to also get the treatment more frequently than the average
traveller.  Perhaps having frequent and diverse visa stamps in the
passport might be considered evidence of being a possible international
drug smuggler.

  stew, covered, to tenderize the meat. Serve with hot rice and a
  sprinkling of scallions and sieved eggs.
