What is it with this agency? Why is is so hard to train people to perform their duties without intruding into passengers' private lives?
yup. i/d only and that's it. glad you drew the line ^^ as that falls under the "looking thru the wallet routine" afaic which when it comes to me, is none of their bloody business. if they want to be curious, come back as a cat in another life.
