Once they figure out I've got nothing, we should be ok.
My brother was telling a story just last night about paramilitaries stopping the bus he was in to search for weapons. His bag was the last one checked. He wasn't packing, a gun anyway, and they didn't notice or maybe care what else was in the bag.

I think it was Bolivia. He described the guy searching his bag as an enormous black man with jaunticed eyes and knee high leather boots... whitey was scared.
