What nonsense!

I have been travelling back and forward to Cairo for almost 10 years. I have never once been asked for anything approaching any sort of bribe or payment by officials. The security screening is three tier. Your luggage is x-rayed once before you get to checkin, your hand baggage is x-rayed at the gate and finally is subject to an manual inspection before boarding the plane.

Let's try and avoid generalisations about a country or its people on the basis of single examples and a liberal application of sterotypes.
