Thanks, I know I have to clear Customs, it's the second stop to have my bags re-ticketed to my final destination I am hoping to avoid.

I fly out of Africa on Ethiopian Airlines or Air France to some place in Europe - Rome, Frankfurt, Paris or London.

Then I fly to the US via United, US Airways, or Delta to Dulles, Philly or Atlanta.

So, it hasn't mattered where I landed or which airline... I have to go to the airline after Customs, show them my boarding pass for the next flight to ORF, and have them pull the current sticker off my luggage and ticket it to ORF. (Half the time it doesn't make it here anyway.)
