<<Some stations are more stringent than others. I'm surprised that you did not undergo an interview in Bogotá. >>

When I arrived, the airport was crawling with soldiers...the airline computers were down, and there was a long delay before anyone was checked in.

In the past two and a half years, I have traveled to China, Thailand, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Cuba, and just recently--Colombia. This is the first 'security' sticker I have to my credit.

(Before I get flamed by anyone...I traveled to Cuba with an OFAC license)
