Just a quick note...

I went through Immigration the other day and encountered a rather amusing gentleman. I am not even sure why (since he took me by surprise), but he referred to himself as a "jack-booted thug." I responded by saying something like, "At least you aren't the TSA." He response: "We hate them, too."

I say as little as possible when I go through Immigration, but this guy was too amusing not to engage him - even if for only a few seconds.

ETA: I asked if he was, in fact, wearing jack boots. He said no with a smile...
