So we arrived in New York, now well over a week ago. Of course we were subjected to the Department of Hopeless Security's US-VISIT picture taking and fingerprinting program at the Delta international terminal at JFK. I guess this is so that if we happen to blow ourselves up and they find one of our index fingers in the mess, they would have a nice digital photograph of us to put on Fox News.
All well and good, but once we went through that, I went searching for the loos. And what do you know: there is one set of toilets located so they can be reached from both airside and baggage reclaim. WTF!? I went in there fully expected to be challenged when I got out and walked back to baggage reclaim. But no such thing, nobody even keeping an eye on it. When waiting for my bags I did some observing and yes, loads of people from baggage reclaim walking in and out as well as people lining up for immigration going in before getting back in line.
Looks like they have really managed to secure their borders with their fancy electronic systems...
